List and discuss how the nature of rural settlements affect the type and expanse of agricultural activities in rural area.

Rural settlement is a term to describe an area that the government has expropriated or plotted and handed over to small farmers so that they could reorder land use and establish agricultural production within a rural area.

This type of settlement modifies the rural extension of these areas, because it implies the establishment of new cultures, either for a family's own consumption, or for trade. In addition, the rural settlement can be used for more things, in addition to agricultural production, such as the establishment of colonization projects in an area, the establishment of an area with organic agricultural production, the creation of animals for the production of meat, milk, honey and eggs, or the settlement of a population that has been hit by natural disasters.
