the rich soil of a natural landscape
Explanation:
as this has to do with organic farming I think "unverbraucht" refers to the condition of the soil (not yet depleted of nutrients). Good soil = good produce.

What is normally a contradiction in terms, is found in Davos: a complete and vibrant city infrastructure blending in harmoniously with an **unspoilt natural landscape**.

Dominica\'s real beauty lies in its **unspoiled natural landscape** -- the dense rain forests, lush foliage, natural springs and rivers and tall, smoldering peaks.

As an alternative: undisturbed natural landscape

large tracts of relatively **undisturbed natural landscape** having wilderness qualities and supporting large mammals with extensive home ranges;

I prefer the first option though
