Landscapes are natural and cultural patches or mosaics of land and water, which may include forests, valleys, mountains, rivers, the sea, agricultural land, human settlements, etc. Minang et al. (2015, p. 5) defines landscapes as “…place-based systems that result from interactions between people, land, institutions (laws, rules, regulations) and values” while a common definition by FAO states that landscapes are “an area large enough to produce vital eco-system services, but small enough to be managed by the people using the land which produce those services” (FAO 2013, p. 52). Landscapes should not be confused with eco-systems, as a landscape can contain various ecosystems, and because human activities and institutions are viewed as an integral part of landscapes and not as external agents (FAO 2012).
