Question

How do economic forces influence agricultural practices? (Someone please help me) <3

Answer 1

Answer:

The main physical factors that make agriculture possible or impossible are:

Climate. Some crops grow better in one climatic zone than in others. ...

Landscape. Relief (altitude and the gradient of terrain) influences agricultural activity. ...

Soil. Plants nedd soil with certain characvteristics.

Factors that influence the decisions farmers make about how to farm:

-relative cost of land

-labor

-capital

Farmers balance the use of these resources differently

-if the land is plentiful and costs little, they use it extensively

-if the land is scarce or expensive, they use it intensely.

Answer 2

Answer: Think about how the cost of land affects agriculture.

Explanation: According to Von Thunen's model, the further you are from the central city, the less the land costs. If a farmer needs large amounts of land to clear trees and use the soil, then he would be in zone 2. Its cheaper than zone 1 but still expensive. If the farmer has the money, then he can farm.
