Unit 7: Agriculture & Food Production:
March 10-April 7th.
Big Ideas about the Geography of Agriculture & Food Production & Rural Land Use Patterns: *How do a people's culture and the resources available to them influence how they grow food?*How does what people produce and consume vary in different locations? *What kind of cultural changes and technological advances have impacted the way people grow and consume food?
What is this unit about?
5.A: Explain the connection between physical geography and agricultural practices. 1: Agricultural practices are influenced by the physical environment and climatic conditions, such as the Mediterranean climate and tropical climates. 2: Intensive farming practices include market gardening, plantation agriculture, and mixed crop/livestock systems. 3: Extensive farming practices include shifting cultivation, nomadic herding, and ranching. 5.B: Identify different rural settlement patterns and methods of surveying rural settlements. 1: Specific agricultural practices shape different rural land-use patterns. 2: Rural settlement patterns are classified as clustered, dispersed, or linear. 3: Rural survey methods include metes and bounds, township and range, and long lot. 5.A: Identify major centers of domestication of plants and animals. 1: Early hearths of domestication of plants and animals arose in the Fertile Crescent and several other regions of the world, including the Indus River Valley, Southeast Asia, and Central America. 5.B: Explain how plants and animals diffused globally. 1: Patterns of diffusion, such as the Columbian Exchange and the agricultural revolutions, resulted in the global spread of various plants and animals. 5.C: Explain the advances and impacts of the second agricultural revolution. 1: New technology and increased food production in the second agricultural revolution led to better diets, longer life expectancies, and more people available for work in factories. 5.D: Explain the consequences of the Green Revolution on food supply and the environment in the developing world. 1: The Green Revolution was characterized in agriculture by the use of high-yield seeds, increased use of chemicals, and mechanized farming. 2: The Green Revolution had positive and negative consequences for both human populations and the environment. 5.C: Explain how economic forces influence agricultural practices. 1: Agricultural production regions are defined by the extent to which they reflect subsistence or commercial practices (monocropping or monoculture). 2: Intensive and extensive farming practices are determined in part by land costs (bid-rent theory). 3: Large-scale commercial agricultural operations are replacing small family farms. 4: Complex commodity chains link production and consumption of agricultural products. 5: Technology has increased economies of scale in the agricultural sector and the carrying capacity of the land. 5.D: Describe how the von Thunen model is used to explain patterns of agricultural production at various scales. 5.E: Explain the interdependence among regions of agricultural production and consumption. 1: Food and other agricultural products are part of a global supply chain. 2: Some countries have become highly dependent on one or more export commodities. 3: The main elements of global food distribution networks are affected by political relationships, infrastructure, and patterns of world trade. 5.A: Explain how agricultural practices have environmental and societal consequences. 1: Environmental effects of agriculture land use include pollution, land cover change, desertification, soil salinization, and conservation efforts. 2: Agricultural practices alter the landscape: terraces, slash and burn, deforestation, draining wetlands, shifting cultivation, pastoral nomadism3:Societal effects of agricultural practices include changing diets, role of women in agricultural production, and economic purpose. 5.B: Explain challenges and debates related to the changing nature of contemporary agriculture and food-production practices 1: Agricultural innovations such as biotechnology, genetically modified organisms, and aquaculture have been accompanied by debates over sustainability, soil and water usage, reductions in biodiversity, and extensive fertilizer and pesticide use. 2: Patterns of food production and consumption are influenced by movements relating to individual food choice, such as urban farming, community-supported agriculture (CSA), organic farming, value-added specialty crops, fair trade, local-food movements, and dietary shifts 3: Challenges of feeding a global population include lack of food access, as in cases of food insecurity and food deserts; problems with distribution systems; adverse weather; and land use lost to suburbanization 4: The location of food-processing facilities and markets, economies of scale, distribution systems, and government policies all have economic effects on food-production practices. 5.C: Explain geographic variations in female roles in food production and consumption. 1: The role of females in food production, distribution, and consumption varies in many places depending on the type of production involved.Assignments:

AP: Cites and Urban Land-Use Patterns and Processes What is this Unit about?
6.1 The Origin and Influences of Urbanization 6.A.1 Site and situation influence the origin, function, and growth of cities. 6.A.2 Changes in transportation and communication, population growth, migration, economic development, and government 6.2 Cities Across the World 6.A.3 Megacities and metacities are distinct spatial outcomes of urbanization increasingly located in countries of the periphery and semiperiphery. 6.A.4 Processes of suburbanization, sprawl, and decentralization have created new land-use forms—including edge cities, exurbs, and boomburbs—and new challenges. 6.3 Cities and Globalization 6.B.1 World cities function at the top of the world’s urban hierarchy and drive globalization. 6.B.2 Cities are connected globally by networks and linkages and mediate global processes. 6.4 The Size and Distribution of Cities 6.C.1 Principles for explaining the distribution and size of cities include rank-size rule, the primate city, gravity, and Christaller’s central place theory. 6.5 The Internal Structure of Cities 6.D.1 Models and theories explaining internal structures of cities include the Burgess concentric-zone model, the Hoyt sector model, the Harris and Ullman multiple-nuclei model, the galactic city model, bid-rent theory, and urban models drawn from Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa. 6.6 Density and Land Use6.A.1 Residential buildings and patterns of land use reflect and shape the city’s culture, technological capabilities, cycles of development, and infilling. 6.7 Infrastructure 6.B.1 The location and quality of a city’s infrastructure directly affects its spatial patterns of economic and social development. 6.8 Urban Sustainability IMP-6.C.1 Sustainable design initiatives and zoning practices include mixed land use, walkability, transportation-oriented development, and smart-growth policies, including New Urbanism, greenbelts, and slow-growth cities. IMP-6.D .1 Praise for urban design initiatives includes the reduction of sprawl, improved walkability and transportation, improved and diverse housing options, improved livability and promotion of sustainable options. Criticisms include increased housing costs, possible de facto segregation, and the potential loss of historical or place character. 6.9 Urban Data 6.E.1 Quantitative data from census and survey data provide information about changes in population composition and size in urban areas. 6.E.2 Qualitative data from field studies and narratives provide information about individual attitudes toward urban change. 6.10 Challenges of Urban Changes 6.A.1 economic and social challenges result, including: issues related to housing and housing discrimination such as redlining, blockbusting, and affordability; access to services; rising crime; environmental injustice; and the growth of disamenity zones or zones of abandonment. 6.A.2 Squatter settlements and conflicts over land tenure within large cities have increased. 6.A.3 Responses to economic and social challenges in urban areas can include inclusionary zoning and local food movements. 6.A.4 Urban renewal and gentrification have both positive and negative consequences. 6.A.5 Functional and geographic fragmentation of governments—the way government agencies and institutions are dispersed between state, county, city, and neighborhood levels—presents As urban populations move within a city, and neighborhood levels—presents challenges in addressing urban issues. 6.11 Challenges of Urban Sustainability 6.B.1 Challenges to urban sustainability include suburban sprawl, sanitation, climate change, air and water quality, the large ecological footprint of cities, and energy use. 6.B.2 Responses to urban sustainability challenges can include regional planning efforts, remediation and redevelopment of brownfields, establishment of urban growth boundaries, establishment of urban growth boundaries, and farmland protection policies.
