Detailed explanation-1: -Von Thunen’s model examines the location of several crops in relation to the market. The location of crops, according to him, is determined by: (i) The market prices, (ii) Transport costs, and (iii) The yield per hectare.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
