Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The agricultural location theory is a normative economic model that was first presented by Johann Heinrich von Thünen, a Prussian landowner, in 1826 in a book called Der Isolierate Stat (Isolated State). This theory is based on the concept of Economic Rent which is prevalent in farm market distance relationships.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Von Thunen model focuses on the relationship between the cost of land and the cost of transporting goods. The land near the city is more expensive, but transportation is cheaper, while the land far away is cheaper, but the transportation is more expensive.
