Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ring 1: 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 (no refrigerated oxcarts in 1830s!)
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.
