2. World Regions of Primarily Subsistence Agriculture On this map, India and China are not shaded because farmers sell some produce at markets; in equatorial Africa and South America, subsistence farming allows little excess and thus little produce sold at markets.

3. Colonial Powers-Bad Points – Assigned ownership to previously unowned land – Tried to compel subsistence farmers to modernize by charging them taxes – Made them devote valuable land to cash crops like cotton Colonial Powers-Good Points – Built irrigation systems – Established lending agencies to loan money to farmers

4. The Fertile Crescent – Where the planned cultivation of seed crops began. - because of seed selection, plants got bigger over time - generated a surplus of wheat and barley - first integration of plant growing and animal raising (used crops to feed livestock, used livestock to help grow crops)

6. Third Agriculture Revolution (Green Revolution) invention of high-yield grains, especially rice, with goal of reducing hunger. - increased production of rice - new varieties in wheat and corn - reduced famines due to crop failure, now most famines are due to political problems - impact (in terms of hunger) is greatest where rice is produced

7. Opposition to Green Revolution Opposition argues Green Revolution has led to: – vulnerability to pests – Soil erosion – Water shortages – Micronutrient deficiencies – Dependency on chemicals for production – Loss of control over seeds

30. Von Thünen Model – What farmers produce varies by distance from the town, with livestock raising farthest from town. – Cost of transportation, as well as value of land, governs use of land. – First effort to analyze the spatial character of economic activity.

31. The bid rent theory is a geographical economic theory that refers to how the price and demand for real estate change as the distance from the central business district (CBD) increases.geographical economic theoryreal estatecentral business district

32. The Von Thunen model is an excellent illustration of the balance between land cost and transportation costs. As one gets closer to a city, the price of land increases.

34. Application of Von Thünen Model Geographer Lee Liu studied the spatial pattern of agriculture production in China. Found: -farmers living in a village farm both lands close to the village and far away intensively -methods varied spatially – resulting in land improvement (by adding organic material) close to village and land degradation (lots of pesticides and fewer conservation tactics) farther from village.
