rural landscapes
Farms and fields
Rural landscapes are countryside areas characterized by open land, agriculture, and low population density—fields, farms, forests, and small villages rather than cities or suburbs.
The term appears in planning documents, travel writing, and environmental discussions: The highway cuts through rural landscapes dotted with dairy farms.
Rural landscapes often carry connotations of pastoral beauty, tradition, or ecological value worth preserving.
