Two major themes in this chapter Agriculture Figure 8.1 (p. 221) Globalization DISCUSSION: * What are your experiences with agriculture? Where? What type of agricultural production was it? * Name some U.S. and Canadian companies that operate globally. * Name some companies from other countries that operate globally in the U.S. and Canada.

Agriculture Relationship Between Agriculture and Food Production DISCUSSION: * Where does your local region fit on this model? Relationship Between Agriculture and Food Production Figure 8.3 (p. 223)

Agriculture Agriculture is a major cause of environmental change DISCUSSION: * Where does the water come from for these crops? Agriculture is a major cause of environmental change Figure 8.2 (p. 222)

Probable culture-hearths and origins of agriculture Agricultural Revolutions First Agricultural Revolution DISCUSSION: * What types of technical innovations made the First Agricultural Revolution possible? Probable culture-hearths and origins of agriculture Figure 8.4 (p. 224)

Second Agricultural Revolution technological change: crop rotation, instruments, machines, fertilizers DISCUSSION: * Think of the time required to harvest these fields by hand with field laborers. Figure 8.5 (p. 226)

Third Agricultural ("Green") Revolution hybrid grains for better yields, greater reliance on fertilizers, genetically engineered crops DISCUSSION: * How does this billboard reflect the Third Agricultural Revolution? * What is the difference between hybrid and genetically engineered plants?

Geography of agriculture • Climate and natural environment • Culture • Economic factors DISCUSSION: * Give an example of where climate or soil type is a limiting factor for agriculture. * How does culture influence what people want to plant or raise for food?

Simplified von Thünen model of agricultural land use urban market high transportation cost items: vegetables, eggs, dairy DISCUSSION: * Von Thünen developed his model in 1826. Is it still relevant today? * Are transportation costs still an important factor in where certain products are raised today? low transportation cost items: forestry, wheat Simplified von Thünen model of agricultural land use (pp. 225-226)

? Production methods capital labor intensive intensive vs. DISCUSSION: * In what other areas of the developed world is productivity increased by utilizing capital vs. labor intensive practices? labor intensive capital intensive ? vs.

? extensive intensive agriculture agriculture vs. DISCUSSION: * How does "intensive" agriculture differ from "labor-intensive" and "capital-intensive" agriculture? intensive agriculture extensive agriculture ? vs.

? subsistence commercial vs. DISCUSSION: * How does commercial agriculture differ from subsistence production? * Is commercial agriculture equivalent to agribusiness? ? commercial vs. subsistence

? nomadism sedentary vs. agriculture DISCUSSION: * How do the two graphics in this slide represent nomadic food production? ? sedentary agriculture nomadism vs.

• Irrigated versus non-irrigated • Different forms of land ownership: - family farms - tenant farmers - sharecroppers - plantations - state-owned farms - garden plots - agribusiness • Agribusiness and the globalization of agriculture DISCUSSION: * How do these different forms of land ownership work? * Are there still sharecroppers in the United States? [yes!]

Globalization • Time-space convergence • Winners and losers in the global economy • Free trade and comparative advantage DISCUSSION: * How has the U.S. comparative advantage in corn production sparked an identity crisis in Mexico? * In what areas of agriculture does Mexico hold a comparative advantage over the U.S. and Canada?

Export economy Traditional economy Globalization • Time-space convergence • Winners and losers in the global economy • Free trade and comparative advantage DISCUSSION: * Who wins, who loses? Export economy Traditional economy Figures 8.6 and 8.7 (p. 230))

Globalization • Time-space convergence • Winners and losers in the global economy • Free trade and comparative advantage • Cattle production in the Amazon • Global-local continuum works in both directions DISCUSSION: * How have you personally experienced the global-local continuum?

Amazon roads and deforestation Globalization DISCUSSION: * How does beef consumption contribute to tropical deforestation? Amazon roads and deforestation Figures 8.8 and 8.9 (p. 231))

Resistance to Globalization and Industrial Agriculture LDCs object to agricultural subsidies in the United States and the European Union: Unfair trade practices MDC consumers object to: Oil-based production system Environmental damage from pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers DISCUSSION: How does the Farm Bill affect trade and development? How sustainable is Industrial agriculture? Unethical, inhumane treatment of animals Monoculture mass production threatens food security Emphasis on low nutrition processed foods Weakened local culture and traditions

Responses: Local Food Movement Organic Farming Urban and Community Gardens Grass-fed, free range ranching Farmer’s Markets DISCUSSION: How does the Farm Bill affect trade and development? How sustainable is Industrial agriculture? Community Supported Agriculture (CSAs) Figure 8.10 (p. 232)) Restaurants and Chefs Promoting Local Food

Remote sensing Amazon Rainforest, Bolivia DISCUSSION: * How are satellite images like this one different from photographs? This specific map image is taken from: http://edcw2ks15.cr.usgs.gov:8090/imagegallery/silverstream/pages/pgImageDetail.html?ImageID=137 Amazon Rainforest, Bolivia Landsat 7 data acquired August 1, 2000 http://library.usgs.gov/

Name That Key Term

Extensive Agriculture The collecting of roots, seeds, fruit, and fiber from wild plants and the hunting and fishing of wild animals. Hunting and Gathering The intentional cultivation of crops and raising of livestock. Agriculture An industrialized, corporate form of agriculture organized into integrated networks of agricultural inputs and outputs controlled by a small number of large corporations. Agribusiness Output per unit land per unit time (e.g., tons per acre per year). Yield Large-area farms or ranches with low inputs of labor per acre and low output per acre. Extensive Agriculture

Intensive Agriculture Small-area farms and ranches with high inputs of labor per acre and high output per acre. Intensive Agriculture Labor-Intensive Agriculture Agriculture in which a large amount of human work is applied per unit of output. Capital-Intensive Agriculture Agriculture in which a large amount of capital is applied per unit of output. Goods such as equipment and buildings used to produce other goods. Capital Sedentary Agriculture Agriculture that takes place in the immediate surroundings of a permanent settlement. A large estate that produces a single cash crop. Mainly found now in the tropics. Plantation

Third Agricultural Revolution Artificial watering of farmland. Irrigation The original invention of farming and domestication of livestock 8,000–14,000 years ago and the subsequent dispersal of these methods from the source regions. First Agricultural Revolution A period of technological change from the 1600s to mid-1900s that started in Western Europe, beginning with preindustrial improvements such as crop rotation and better horse collars, and concluding with industrial innovations to replace human labor with machines and to supplement natural fertilizers and pesticides with chemical ones. Second Agricultural Revolution The application of biological science to the development of better strains of plants and animals for increasing agricultural yields. Green Revolution also known as the Third Agricultural Revolution

Commercial Agriculture Agriculture primarily for the purpose of selling the products for money. Commercial Agriculture Agriculture that uses a large area of land for production of a single crop year after year. Monoculture A farming method in tropical areas in which wild vegetation is cleared and burned before crops are planted. When the soil fertility is diminished, farmers abandon the land to restore itself naturally, and they move to new areas where they repeat the process. Also known as slash-and-burn agriculture. Shifting Cultivation Self-sufficient agriculture, usually small scale and low tech, primarily for direct consumption by the local population. Subsistence Agriculture

The use of satellite images of the earth’s surface. The general class of material or vegetation that dominates the surface of the land in a particular area. Land Cover The general class of activity for which land is used by humans in a particular area. Land Use The use of satellite images of the earth’s surface. Remote Sensing An integrated agricultural system in which crops are grown and fed to livestock. Mixed Farming Domesticated animals such as cows, sheep, and poultry that are raised and managed to produce meat, milk, eggs, wool, leather, etc. Livestock

of different places around the world. Migratory movement of herders and their animals according to the availability of grazing land. Nomadism The increasing economic, cultural, demographic, political, and environmental interdependence of different places around the world. Globalism A measure of how much distance discourages movement between places, based on the time, energy, or dollar cost that must be expended. Friction of Distance Imports and exports between countries that are unrestricted by tariffs, quotas, or excessive approvals and paperwork. Free Trade

Comparative Advantage Global-Local Continuum Time-Space Convergence When one region is relatively more efficient at producing a particular product compared with other regions. Comparative Advantage The interaction between global processes and local lifestyles. This continuum is a two-way process in which the local and the global shape each other. Global-Local Continuum The rate at which the time separating two places decreases because of improvements in transportation or communication technology. Time-Space Convergence

The Globalization of Agriculture Food for Thought: The Globalization of Agriculture Case Study Chapter 8

After completing this chapter, you will be able to: • Differentiate among agricultural landscapes. • Understand how and why the same crops and livestock are produced in different ways in different regions of the world. • Collect primary data in your local supermarket. • Describe global food chains. • Recognize different land uses in satellite images. • Use remote sensing to study land use change.
