Von Thunen’s agricultural land use model is one of the principle economic models within the field of Human Geography.

A) Identify and explain what happens to the intensity of agricultural land use as the distance from the market increase

B) Explain why it made sense in 1826 for Von Thunen to suggest forests be positioned in the second ring from the market

C) Explain why Von Thunen thought dairy cattle would be raised close to the market, while beef cattle would be raised far from the

Will give brainliest

A) There are four rings of agricultural activity surrounding the city. Dairying and intensive farming occur in the ring closest to the city. Since vegetables, fruit, milk and other dairy products must get to market quickly, they would be produced close to the city (remember, we didn't have refrigerated oxcarts!)

B) The forests are located in the second ring because back when Von Thunen wrote this model, Germany was heating primarily with wood. Field crops like cereal grains are in the 3rd ring because they require vast amounts of land and are not nearly as expensive to transport as wood or fragile fruits and veggies.

C)  -dairy cattle needed to be close b/c dairy products perish quickly

-dairy cattle often provided feed, so they need less land

-beef cattle could be father b/c farmers could walk animals to the market to be bought/killed

-beef cattle sometimes require more land for grazing + land is less expensive farther
