Detailed explanation-1: -The theory of agricultural location was developed by von Thunen in the year 1826. Von Thunen recognized the following six concentric zonal rings of agricultural production. Zone-1: Market Gardening and milk production: Zone-1 would be dedicated to cash cropping.
Detailed explanation-2: -It may be seen from Figure 14.5 simplified von Thunen’s model that Zone 1 in which the economic rent is high is devoted to horticulture (fruits and vegetables), while Zone II was devoted to forest products (like fuel wood) as the transportation cost of fuel wood is high.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fourth, von Thünen contended that the farmers would transport their own goods to market (no FedEx here), and that they would do so by oxcart, overland, straight to the city.
