Presentation transcript:

Regional and Local Change Geographer Judith Carney finds that changing agricultural practices alter the rural environment and economy and also relations between men and women. Lands used traditionally by women to grow food for their families are now used for monoculture creating a cash crop with the cash going to the men. For example, in Gambia international development projects have converted wetlands into irrigated agricultural lands, in order to make production of rice year round.

Cadastral Systems Township and Range System (rectangular survey system) is based on a grid system that creates 1 square mile sections. US method adopted after the Revolutionary War. Homestead Act-160 acres (1 section) given after 5 years of working the land) Metes and Bounds Survey uses natural features to demarcate irregular parcels of land. Found on the east coast of North America Longlot Survey System divides land into narrow parcels stretching back from rivers, roads, or canals. Found in Canadian maritimes & Quebec, a remnant of French rule Primogentiture-Germanic custom-first born son inherits all land-North America, Northern Europe, Australia etc. Cadastral System-the method of land survey In Southern Europe, Asia, Africa and South America-land is divided up among sons with much fragmentation of farmland

Agricultural Villages Nucleated settlement-intense cultivation with homes clustered in a village-most of the world’s farms are nucleated. Dispersed settlement-individual farm house widely spaced-North America Linear Village-follows a stream or road Cluster Village-(nucleated) intersection of roads Round Village-to corral livestock (rundling-Slavic farmers) Walled Village-e.g. Medieval Europe Grid Village-Spanish colonial villages & modern day planned-towns

Village Forms

Functional Differentiation within Villages Cultural landscape of a village reflects: Social stratification (How is material well being reflected in the spaces of a village?) Differentiation of buildings (What are they used for? How large are they?) Left-Sun-dried brick homes with thatch roof in a round African village of Mahebli south of Odienne in the Ivory Coast-The Chief’s house always held the place of prominence near the entrance of the kraal. Right-Villagers flat roof houses cling to rocky terraces for protection. The straw-hatted granaries are built on stilts to keep the grain dry-Dogon villages seem haphazard, but conformed to a mythical human pattern with the Blacksmith’s hearth at the head, shrines at the feet and family dwellings at the chest.

Commercial Agriculture Term used to describe large scale farming and ranching operations that employ vast land bases, large mechanized equipment, factory-type labor forces, and the latest technology. - roots are in colonial agriculture - today, global production made possible by advances in transportation and food storage NAFTA-since it started in 1994 US corn imports into Mexico have tripled and Mexican corn production has gone down. Total population is increasing, thus many small villages are losing population to the maquiladora towns or they are migrating into the US

Advances in Transportation & Food Storage - Containerization of seaborne freight traffic - Refrigeration of containers, as they wait transport in Dunedin, New Zealand

Agriculture and Climate Climate Regions (based on temperature and precipitation) help determine agriculture production. Agriculture Regions – drier lands usually have livestock ranching and moister climates usually have grain production.

Agribusiness & the Changing Geography of Agriculture Commercialization of Crop Production With the development of new agricultural technologies, the production of agriculture has changed. - eg. Poultry industry in the US production is now concentrated farming is turning into manufacturing Less than 1/5th of the cost of a food dollar goes to farmers 81% of the food dollar goes to corporations that transport, process and market the food.

Plantation Agriculture Governments in core countries set quotas for imports & subsidize domestic production Large scale cash cropping is called plantation agriculture-a hold over from the colonial period Bananas, sugar, coffee, cacao, rubber and tea are examples. Sugar cane is a cash crop that drives the economies of many Caribbean nations Cartels are formed to boost prices, but are seldom successful Multinational Corporations protect their interests-1940-50s Guatemala began agricultural reform to distribute land which threatened the monopoly of the United Fruit Company. The company used its close ties in the US Govt. Sect. Of State John F. Dulles and his brother CIA director Allen Dulles supported a coup that overthrew the govt. and est. a military dictatorship with close ties to the US.

Rubber Originally collected from a wild tree in Brazil and Africa, the seeds were planted to create plantations in Malaysia, Indonesia and other SE Asian countries. Today 70% of world rubber production is in SE Asia. Automobile production in the early 20th century boosted the demand for rubber. Of 17.7 tons used per year today about 10 million tons are synthetic-made from petroleum Indonesian rubber plantation
