Detailed explanation-1: -Until about 1850, most people lived in rural areas. Many of them were farmers, who grew crops and raised livestock. Others managed the forests, worked in local mines or mills, or manufactured the necessities of life for the town.
Detailed explanation-2: -“Land use” is the term used to describe the human use of land.
