PSO-5
Availability of resources and cultural practices influence agricultural practices and land-use patterns.

PSO-5.A
Explain the connection between physical geography and agricultural practices.

  • PSO-5.A.1 Agricultural practices are influenced by the physical environment and climatic conditions, such as the Mediterranean climate and tropical climates.
  • PSO-5.A.2 Intensive farming practices include market gardening, plantation agriculture, and mixed crop/livestock systems.
  • PSO-5.A.3 Extensive farming practices include shifting cultivation, nomadic herding, and ranching.

农业(agriculture)是为食物和其他产品而有意地种植作物和饲养动物。第一个大分割:

  • 自给农业(subsistence agriculture)——为养活农民自己的家庭而务农,在欠发达地区常见。
  • 商业农业(commercial agriculture)——为出售获利而务农,在发达地区常见并常常大规模和机械化。

农业也按强度变化:集约(intensive)农业在一个小地区上使用大量的劳动或金钱(稻田、市场园艺);粗放(extensive)农业在一个大地区上使用很少的投入(牧场、迁移耕作)。

下面两张照片是第一种划分的两个极端——一台机器供应市场,对比一个人养活一家:

一台红绿相间的大型联合收割机正在收割一片金黄的麦田
商业农业:一台联合收割机几乎不用人力就收割一大片麦田,种粮食来卖
一个农民弯腰用手锄在一小块玉米地里劳作
自给农业:一个农民用锄头手工耕作一小块地,主要是为了养活家人
探索

Intensive or extensive farming?

Intensive farming puts a lot of labour or money into a small area; extensive farming spreads little input over a large area.

PSO-5
Availability of resources and cultural practices influence agricultural practices and land-use patterns.

PSO-5.B
Identify different rural settlement patterns and methods of surveying rural settlements.

农民如何在土地上定居留下一个持久的格局。

  • 集聚(核状)(clustered (nucleated))定居点把住房聚在一起;分散(dispersed)定居点把它们散开;线性(linear)定居点跟随一条道路或河流。
  • 测量方法(survey methods)划分土地:边界描述法(metes-and-bounds)系统使用自然特征;镇区-区段制(township-and-range)系统使用一个正方形的网格;长条地(long-lot)系统给每个农场一个到达一条河或道路的细条。

农业在少数源地开始并通过扩散传播,然后被三次革命改造。

  • 第一次(新石器)农业革命(First (Neolithic) Agricultural Revolution)是植物和动物的最初驯化,让人们能在一个地方定居。
  • 第二次农业革命(Second Agricultural Revolution)使用工业革命的工具(机器、更好的交通、轮作)来提高产出并养活增长的城市。
  • 绿色革命(Green Revolution)(1900 年代中期)引入高产种子、肥料、农药和灌溉——巨大地增加食物产出,尽管以一个环境和社会成本。

Worked example(一道真实的 AP 考题)。 "描述早期驯化中心的概念。"(2023)满分答案:"一个人们首次把野生植物或动物驯化成农养品种的地方,并且那种农业实践从那里传播到其他区域。" 命令词 Describe(描述)要求的比一个单词的定义更多——给出关键特征(驯化在哪里开始并且它传播了)——但它不要求"Explain"所要求的因果推理。

PSO-5
Availability of resources and cultural practices influence agricultural practices and land-use patterns.

PSO-5.C
Explain how economic forces influence agricultural practices.

  • PSO-5.C.1 Agricultural production regions are defined by the extent to which they reflect subsistence or commercial practices (monocropping or monoculture).
  • PSO-5.C.2 Intensive and extensive farming practices are determined in part by land costs (bid-rent theory).

一个地方的农业类型取决于气候发展水平

  • 热带地区偏好迁移耕作(shifting cultivation)(刀耕火种)和种植园作物;干旱地区偏好游牧(pastoral nomadism)(放牧)。
  • 发达地区有混合作物和牲畜乳制品业,和大型商业谷物农场。
  • 竞租理论(bid-rent theory)解释为什么靠近一个市场的土地被更集约地使用:它更贵,所以它必须每公顷赚更多。

PSO-5.D
Describe how the von Thünen model is used to explain patterns of agricultural production at various scales.

  • PSO-5.D.1 Von Thünen’s model helps to explain rural land use by emphasizing the importance of transportation costs associated with distance from the market; however, regions of specialty farming do not always conform to von Thünen’s concentric rings.

冯·杜能模型

冯·杜能模型(von Thünen model)(1826)基于运输成本到市场的距离解释农民在哪里种植什么。

冯·杜能模型:土地使用围绕一个中央市场形成环
易腐、重,或集约的产品位于市场附近;粗放的用途位于更远处
  • 中心是市场(一座城市)。围绕它,土地使用形成同心环
  • 环 1 ——市场园艺和乳制品业(易腐,必须靠近市场)。
  • 环 2 ——森林(在他那个时代,重的柴火,移动昂贵)。
  • 环 3 ——大田作物和谷物(不那么易腐)。
  • 环 4 ——牧场(粗放,每公顷价值低,能在很远)。

模型假设一个平坦、均质的平原,带一个市场。真实的地区因为道路、河流、地形和冷藏而弯曲这些环——但核心思想,即运输成本塑造土地使用,仍然成立。

现代农业是一个全球供应链(global supply chain)。

  • 农业综合企业(agribusiness)把农场与种子、机械、加工和零售公司联系起来。
  • 许多国家专门于少数出口商品(export commodities)(咖啡、可可、大豆),这能使它们依赖世界价格。
  • 公平贸易(fair trade)和本地食物运动是对这个全球系统不平等的回应。

IMP-5.B
Explain challenges and debates related to the changing nature of contemporary agriculture and food-production practices.

  • IMP-5.B.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.
  • IMP-5.B.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.
  • IMP-5.B.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.
  • IMP-5.B.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.

现代农业养活数十亿人但造成问题:

  • 环境:土壤侵蚀、来自肥料的水污染、生物多样性丧失、荒漠化(desertification),和温室气体排放。
  • 经济和社会:小家庭农场的丧失、农村人口减少,和关于粮食安全(food security)和转基因生物(GMOs)的问题。
  • 土地利用变化:郊区化(suburbanisation)和城市增长侵蚀城市边缘的农田。

IMP-5
Agricultural production and consumption patterns vary in different locations, presenting different environmental, social, economic, and cultural opportunities and challenges.

IMP-5.C
Explain geographic variations in female roles in food production and consumption.

  • IMP-5.C.1 The role of females in food production, distribution, and consumption varies in many places depending on the type of production involved.

在发展中世界的大部分地区,女性做大部分的农活,尤其是在自给农业里,却常常只拥有很少的土地。她们的角色对家庭食物供应至关重要。改善女性对土地、信贷和教育的获取提高农场产出,并且通过降低生育率,与人口转变联系回去。

5.12

考试技巧

  • 一次在两个轴上给农业分类:自给商业,以及集约粗放
  • 运输成本和产品的易腐性驱动每个冯·杜能答案。
  • 权衡绿色革命:更高的产量对昂贵的投入、环境伤害,和不均匀的触及。
  • 从田地形状命名测量系统(长条地镇区-区段制边界描述法)。
  • 把农业与它的后果联系起来:土壤退化、水污染,和森林砍伐
