Subsistence Agriculture
Less Developed Nations Provide for family Three Types Shifting Intensive Subsistence Pastoralism
40
Subsistence Agriculture
Shifting Cultivation Three Field System Rotate Fields Nutrients Replenished Tropical Regions Africa, Amazon River, SE Asia
41
Subsistence Agriculture
Thin top soil Nutrient Depletion Heavy Rains Slash and Burn Agriculture Clear land Swidden Labor intensive Large amounts of Land
42
Subsistence Agriculture
Slash and Burn Many types of seed Reduce crop failure risk Environmental Issues Land cannot recover Cause permanent damage
43
Subsistence Agriculture
Intensive Subsistence Heavily populated areas Not much land China, India, SE Asia Terraced Farming

45
Subsistence Agriculture
Intensive Rice Rainfall Wheat, corn, millet Double Cropping Multiple crops in one field
46
Subsistence Agriculture
Pastoralism Breeding and herding Not hospitable for crops Grasslands, deserts, steppes Sedentary Living in one place Nomadic Roaming
47
Subsistence Agriculture
Pastoralism Cows, Sheep, Goats, Camels Animal meat not usually for consumptions Use animals for fur, milk, and to trade N Africa, Central / S Africa, ME, Central Asia (Mongolia) Nomads move with cattle Cool highlands = summer Warm lowlands = winter Transhumance

Commercial Agriculture
Mediterranean Mediterranean Region Not Mediterranean Region California, Chile, SA, S Australia Hot, dry summers Mild, wet winters Barley, wheat, olives, grapes Sheep / goats
55
Commercial Agriculture
Plantation Farming Agricultural Estates 1 or 2 crops in high demand Cash crops Not for immediate human consumption Luxury items Not essentials Money is made from high volume sales

Commercial Agriculture
Europeans Colonies Luxury items Coffee, tea, cotton, etc Climate not hospitable
57
Commercial Agriculture
Mild / Tropical Climates Africa, LA, and Asia Along coast Owned by overseas corporations
58
Commercial Agriculture
Mixed Crop / Livestock Crops, Cattle, Sheep, Goats Ducks, Chickens, Crops grown to feed Cattle Cattle produce fertilizer / other products Depend on animals

Von Thunen Model used to predict Assumptions
Explains agricultural land use pattern Assumptions One city = One market place Maximum profit Equally farmable / Equally productive 1 form of transportation Transportation costs are fixed
78
Von Thunen Two variables Giant Bull’s Eye Distance from farm to market
Transportation Cost Cost of Land Land Rent Giant Bull’s Eye Market center Rings Extensive vs Intensive Rent and Transportation Cost
79
Farm Location Ex: Grain farmer Dairy farmer
Land / further away from city Dairy farmer Land / closer to the city
80
Globalization European Colonization Grocery store Mercantilism
Grow / give / sell Grocery store Peripheral / LDC
81
Truck Farms Tropical Countries More Developed nations Organic Farming
82
Local Food Movement CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)
Back to local markets Small farmers Locally supported
83
Local Food Movement Regional Suppliers Reduces pollution from trucks
Food is fresh No preservatives Fewer fertilizers More expensive More expensive methods Local Restaurant buyers
84
Urban Food Movement Growing food in urban areas

Human Impacts Change nature of farming operations Small farmers
Larger corporations Cash Crop problems
91
Hunger and Food Supply Food distribution / Access to food
Under nutrition Famine
92
Hunger and Food Supply Political Situations Not a shortage Civil War
Inability of food to reach places Infrastructure problem Corruption Problem
93
Desertification and Soil Erosion
Soil problems Intense farming for profit Soil Erosion Loss of top layer of soil Desertification Expansion of Desert
94
Deforestation Loss of forests Harvesting
Clearing land for plantations, ranching
95
Water Use As agriculture expands more water is needed
Water is used in many ways Clean water is not always easy to come by
96
Government Action Debt-for-Nature To preserve natural resources
International Debts forgiven
