Detailed explanation-1: -Ranching is located in the final ring surrounding the central city. Animals can be raised far from the city because they are self-transporting.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to the Von Thunen model, the spatial organization of agriculture is influenced by the distance of the farm from the market and the cost of transportation. Farms located closer to the market will be more profitable because they can sell their products at a higher price and have lower transportation costs.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
