14. Land Transformation John Richards “Rate of change across world regions followed arc of European political and economic control”

15. Land Transformation John Richards “Rate of change across world regions followed arc of European political and economic control” What is the European Model?  Central area of development/Urban area – spreads outward – creating a frontier that is exploited for natural resources  Capitalist model of specialization to maximize efficiency

16. The Ecology of Growing Food Kaufman & Cleveland  Why Agriculture? - Developed independently in at least 9 different areas (fig. 16.2)

17. The Ecology of Growing Food Kaufman & Cleveland  Why Agriculture? - Developed independently in at least 9 different areas (fig. 16.2) Technical change hypothesis Co-evolutionary hypothesis Resource depletion hypothesis Carrying Capacity

18. The Ecology of Growing Food Kaufman & Cleveland  Carrying Capacity  The maximum population that can survive indefinitely in a given environment with its available resources.

19. The Ecology of Growing Food Kaufman & Cleveland  Benefits of the Green Revolution  Rapid increase in food production  Delayed predicted population collapse  Decreased the price of food  Externalities

20. The Ecology of Growing Food Kaufman & Cleveland  Benefits of the Green Revolution  Rapid increase in food production  Delayed predicted population collapse  Decreased the price of food  Externalities  Costs of the Green Revolution  Hurt the small independent farmer  Reduced the energy return on food  Environmental pollution  Climate change
