Most countrysides look somewhat like that. At least the one i was forced to grow up in. Sure, there are lots of plants but nevertheless the land is ecologically dead because there’s only a few species (mostly 3 different subspecies of corn). Sure there are some trees but i think the trees feel as lonely as i did when i lived there.

If you want to live in nature, go to the mountains or some place that has large bodies of water nearby (lakes, rivers, ocean). That’s where the actual life is.

It’s because of a mixture of landscape reasons. Large flat areas are attractive to farming, so that’s what’s being done. On the other side, mountains are unattractive for that because the big machines can’t drive over uneven soil. Similarly, large waters host a ton of biodiversity because water is the origin of all life, and you can really feel that. Just give it a try.
