AP Human Geography
Unit 5 – Agriculture and Rural Land–Use
Topic 5.7
How does von Thunen's model explain spatial patterns in agricultural land use?
The further away a farm is from a city center, the smaller it will be due to increased transportation costs over longer distances.
Land closer to the city is less fertile due to pollution.
The size and shape of farms are decided by government regulations rather than market forces.
Different rings represent types of farming based on their distance from a central city/marketplace due to transport costs involved in supplying goods there.
