abandoned farmland

Neglected rural property

Abandoned farmland is agricultural land no longer actively cultivated or maintained.

Fields once used for crops or grazing return to weeds, brush, and eventually forest through natural succession.

The phrase appears in discussions of rural depopulation, land use policy, and ecological restoration: Abandoned farmland covered much of the hillside.
