Von Thünen’s Model Of Land Use Slides Notes Johann Heinrich Von Thünen (1783 – 1850)

Developed an agricultural model to explain the _ and _ of agriculture in and around a CBD (Central Business District or city/town)

He used mathematics to explain the cost of farming in multiple environments:

_ which means…
R = rent
p = production costs
Y = yield
c = market price
F = transportation costs
m = distance to market
This model compares the relationship between _, _, and _ to determine which crops will be grown where.
