Question

Summarize the basic conclusions of profitability as dictated by the von Thunen model of agricultural land use.

Answer 1

Answer: The basic conclusions of profitability dictated by the von Thunen model of agricultural land use assumes that the city is the epicenter, the surrounding land is flat, the climate and soil quality are the same throughout, and goods are transported by a cart across the land. It also states that the farms that are closest to towns are smaller, but are worth more money, and farms that are farther away from the epicenter are larger but worth less.

Answer 2

The Isolated State is surrounded by unoccupied wilderness.The land of the State is completely flat and has no rivers or mountains to interrupt the terrain.The soil quality and climate are consistent throughout the State.Farmers in the Isolated State transport their own goods to market via oxcart, across the land, directly to the central city.
