A pasture, meadow or pasture is an area of open grassland used for grazing cattle. Meadows can be cultivated and belong to a farm, but also in the wild there is a lot of grassland. A field, arable land or arable land is a landscape element with cultivated land on which crops such as grain, potatoes or sugar beets are grown. The word akker is related to the Latin "ager". The Latin word for farmer is "agricola", a combination of "ager" (field) and "colo" (to cultivate or work).
A field can be bounded by other landscape elements such as parcels of arable land, ditches, roads or fences. Fences can consist of iron or barbed wire posts, hedges or wooded banks.
In areas of intensive agriculture where most other landscape elements have been removed, the field edges can be turned into a fauna edge to give wild plants, and thus also insects and birds, a better chance of survival.
