Which of the following statements about Von Thunen's theory is not correct ?

  • A.According to Thunen's model concentric ring-I has market gardening and milk production
  • B.Thunen's models concentric ring-II has firewood and lumber production
  • C.Thunen's model concentric ring-III has livestock farming
  • D.Thunen's model concentric ring-IV has food crop farming with fallow land

Answer: C

The incorrect statement is that ring III has livestock farming.

In Von Thunen's model of agricultural land use around an isolated market town, the rings in his full six-ring scheme are: (I) market gardening and milk, which are perishable; (II) forestry, for firewood and lumber, which are bulky; (III) intensive crop rotation; (IV) crop and pasture rotation with fallow; (V) the three-field system; and (VI) livestock ranching, the outermost ring.

Livestock farming therefore belongs to the outermost ring, not ring III. The statements about rings I, II and IV match the model, so they are not the answer.
