This picture shows an agricultural landscape from Lanzarote, in the Canary islands (Spain) where aloe vera is commonly grown by farmers. I have chosen this landscape because I liked the image and it's quite interesting.
It is a big plot that can be classified as:
-Open field: because we can't see any boundary.
-Monoculture: There is just one type of crop, in this case it's aloe vera.
-Irrigated farming: the water is brought to this landscape using irrigation pipes,as you can see clearly in the photo.
-Extensive agriculture: because we can find this type of agriculture in sparsely populated areas(like in the mountains,as the landscape shown in the picture) with lots of land that require the use of irrigation pipes and machinery.
This is another picture of a landscape located in Fuerteventura. I think in this one you can see aloe vera in a very detailed way so that's why I decided to post it too.
You have chosen a very interesting crop. Very good!
ReplyDeleteAlthough we can see a drop irrigation system, in this case we can not describe it as irrigation system, because aloe verá do es not need much weater, the problem is That in Canary Islands there is very little rainfall.
