Agriculture is the primary industry in most rural areas. Most people live or work on farms or ranches. Hamlets, villages, towns, and other small settlements are in or surrounded by rural areas.

In Asia, for example, the United Nations estimates that the urban population will increase by almost 2 billion by 2050.
