Aim: to apply the Von Thunen Model to real world
agricultural examples.
Von Thunen Model
Assumptions1. There is only one market available, self-sufficient
with no outside influence. 2. All farmers are market oriented, producing goods for
sale. (Not subsistence.)3. The physical environment is uniform; there are no rivers
or mountains. 4. All points at equal distances from the market have equal
access to the market. 5. All farmers act to maximize profits.6. The dietary preferences of the population are those of
Germanic Europeans. 7. Land decreases in value with distance away from city.
Influences• Technology• 1. Transportation;
speed of rail, sea shipping, air etc.• 2. Preservation of
the food itself; freezing, irradiation etc.,
Gross / Not Per Capita

Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Canada.. and Brazil and the USA are all
