AGRICULTURE Chapter 11

What Is Agriculture, and Where Did Agriculture Begin? The purposeful tending of crops and raising of livestock in order to produce food and fiber

Economic Activities Primary economic activities: Products closest to the ground Secondary economic activities: Manufacturing of primary products into new products Tertiary economic activities: Services, connecting producers to consumers to facilitate trade Quaternary economic activities: Information or the exchange of goods Quinary economic activities: Tied into research or higher education

Arable Land

The First Agricultural Revolution South and Southeast Asia: Root crops, up to 14,000 years ago Southwest Asia (the Fertile Crescent): Seed crops, about 10,000 years ago

The Fertile Crescent Beginning of planned cultivation of seed crops Enlargement of plants from seed selection Generated a surplus of wheat and barley First integration of plant growing and animal raising Crops to feed livestock Livestock to help grow crops Animal domestication Began in Fertile Crescent (c. 8000 years ago) Relatively few domestic animals Continuing efforts at domesticating animals usually not very successful

The Fertile Crescent

Modern Hunters-Gatherers Pressure to change in globalized economy Studied and mapped groups San of Southern Africa Aboriginals of Australia Indigenous peoples of Brazil Groups in Americas, Africa, Asia

Subsistence Agriculture Strict meaning: Farmers produce enough for themselves and their families and do not enter the cash economy at all Today, usually sell small amounts in the market Characteristics Land held in common Surpluses shared with everyone Personal wealth accumulation restricted Individual advancement at expense of group limited

Subsistence Agriculture

Shifting Cultivation Shifting fields to find better land Practiced primarily in tropical and subtropical regions Cycle Clear plot of vegetation Plant crops Loss of fertility Loss of decaying vegetation Leaching of nutrients Abandon plot and begin again in a new location

How Did Agriculture Change with Industrialization? Second Industrial Revolution: A series of innovations, improvements, and techniques used to improve the output of agricultural surpluses New tools Advances in livestock breeding New fertilizers Started before the Industrial Revolution

Von Thünen Model Variation in products by distance from the town, with livestock raising farthest away Use of land governed by cost of transportation First effort to analyze the spatial character of economic activity

Application of Von Thünen Model Chinese village Land improvement (by adding organic material) close to village Land degradation (lots of pesticides and fewer conservation tactics) farther from village Wealthy countries Underlying principles on larger scale Use of faster, higher capacity transportation

Third Agriculture Revolution (Green Revolution) Began in U.S. Midwest, then applied to less wealthy countries Invention of high-yield grains, especially rice, with goal of reducing hunger Increased production of rice New varieties of wheat and corn Reduced famines due to crop failure Most famines today due to political problems Impact (in terms of hunger) greatest where rice is produced

Average Daily Calorie Consumption per Capita

Opposition to Green Revolution Vulnerability to pests Soil erosion Water shortages Micronutrient deficiencies Dependency on chemicals for production Loss of control over seeds Genetically modified (GM) crops

What Imprint Does Agriculture Make on the Cultural Landscape? Cadastral systems Township and Range System (rectangular survey system): Based on a grid system that creates 1-square-mile sections Metes and Bounds Survey: Uses natural features to demarcate irregular parcels of land Long-lot Survey System: Divides land into narrow parcels stretching back from rivers, roads, or canals

Dominant Land Survey Systems in the U.S.

Agricultural Villages

What Is the Global Pattern of Agriculture and Agribusiness? Commercial agriculture: Large-scale farming and ranching operations that employ vast land bases, large mechanized equipment, factory-type labor forces, and the latest technology Roots in colonial economic system Today, global production made possible by advances in transportation and food storage

World Climates (Köppen Classification System)

World Agriculture

World Agriculture Plantation crops Ties to governments Cotton and rubber Luxury crops Commercial livestock, fruit and grain Mediterranean agriculture Illegal drugs

Fair Trade Agriculture Fair trade coffee: Shade-grown coffee produced by certified fair-trade farmers, who then sell the coffee directly to coffee importers Guarantees a “fair trade price” Over 500,000 registered farmers Produced in more than 20 countries Often organically grown Purchase commitment by Starbucks and other chains

Agribusiness and the Changing Geography of Agriculture Agribusiness: Businesses that provide a vast array of goods and services to support the agricultural industry Spatial concentration of agricultural activities Relationship to subsistence farming Privileged large landowners Government organization of agriculture Impact of markets

Loss of Productive Farmland Farmland in danger of being suburbanized as cities expand
