Von Thünen Ring

The Von Thünen Ring model explains how different types of agriculture are arranged around a city based on distance and transportation costs. It suggests that products requiring quick, fresh delivery (like dairy) are produced close to the city, while heavier, less perishable goods (like grains) are grown farther away, where land is cheaper. The model consists of concentric rings: the innermost for dairy and market gardening, followed by forests, crop farming, and finally livestock grazing at the outermost ring. This arrangement helps optimize farming profitability by balancing transportation costs and land value.
