Detailed explanation-1: -Beyond the fourth ring lies the unoccupied wilderness, which is too great a distance from the central city for any type of agricultural product because the amount earned for the product doesn’t justify the expenses of producing it after transportation to the city is factored in.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are four rings of agricultural activity surrounding the city. Dairying and intensive farming occur in the ring closest to the city. Since vegetables, fruit, milk and other dairy products must get to market quickly, they would be produced close to the city (remember, we didn’t have refrigerated oxcarts!)
Detailed explanation-3: -Von Thünen’s model helps explain the relationship between the cost of land and the cost to transport the crop to market.
