Abstract: Efforts to bring together landscape analysis and farming systems have failed to explain the drivers behind their spatial distribution. Since agricultural landscapes are an outcome of farmers' decisions, understanding the role of socioeconomic and biophysical drivers of such decisions is essential for policy-making targeting landscape-level provision of public goods and ecosystem services from agriculture.
