• 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

• In Asia and southern Europe individual plots may
  be roughly rectangular
• Narrow strips are most common in Western and
  central Europe
