Detailed explanation-1: -Von Thünen Model Definition This means that at any point in space, land rent (the money made by the landowner, who rents to the farmer) will be how much a product is worth once you subtract the cost to produce it and ship it to market.
Detailed explanation-2: -The main assumption of Von Thunen’s model is that agricultural land use is formed as concentric circles around the central market; the latter consumes all the surplus production, which must be transported from the rural areas to the market.
Detailed explanation-3: -Von Thunen’s model examines the location of several crops in relation to the market. The location of crops, according to him, is determined by: (i) The market prices, (ii) Transport costs, and (iii) The yield per hectare.
