Market gardens are close to urban centers.

Agricultural landscape • In the Eastern Hemisphere fragmented farms are the rule – Farmers live in farm villages or hamlets – Fields are situated at varying distances and directions from the settlement – One farm can consist of one hundred or more separate parcels of land – In Asia and southern Europe individual plots may be roughly rectangular – Narrow strips are most common in Western and central Europe

Agricultural landscape • Long-lot farms – A landholding consisting of a long, narrow unitblock stretching back from a road, river, or canal – Typical in the Canadian maritimes, parts of Quebec, and parts of Texas.
