Von Thunen's model of agricultural land use proposes that the type of agriculture in concentric zones around a central market city is determined by the transportation costs of different agricultural products. The model suggests that dairy farming and intensive agriculture will occur in the innermost zone due to high transportation costs for perishable products. Timber and firewood production is next as wood is heavy. Extensive grain farming is in the third zone as grains have lower transport costs. Ranching is in the outermost zone as livestock are self-transporting and have the lowest transport costs. The model aims to explain the balance between land costs and transportation in determining agricultural location patterns.
Von thunen’s model of agricultural land useThe Urban Unit
This presentation is based on a agricultural land use model around the city. This is the theory of urban Geography it describe the agricultural pattern and how should the agricultural activities perform around the city. basically this Model was put forwarded before industrialization and when there was no roads networks and this Model is not applicable in real word but is gives great ideas for developing new towns and cities.
Geographic Regions: by definition There three types of regions Formal regions are areas where a certain characteristic is found throughout. Functional regions consist of a central place and the surrounding places affected by it. Perceptual regions are defined by people’s attitudes and feelings about areas. 4.

Definition of Urban Geography.
Urban geography is the study of urban places with reference to their geographical environment.
Urban geography is the sub discipline of geography which concentrates on those parts of the Earth's surface that have a high concentration of buildings and infrastructure
.
It is that branch of science, which deals with the study of urban areas, in terms of concentration, infrastructure, economy, and environmental impacts.
Griffith Taylor- Urban Geography includes the site revolution pattern and classification of towns.
Dudley Stamp- Urban Geography is infecting the intensive study of town and their development in all their geographical aspects.
Meaning of an Urban Place
UN Demographic Year Book concludes: “There is no point in the continuum from large agglomerations to small clusters or scattered dwellings where urbanity disappears and rurality begins the division between urban and rural populations is necessarily arbitrary.”
A review of the problems of rural and urban centres as revealed by the Census Reports of various countries identifies a few bases for reckoning a place as urban.
Difference between rural and urban depends upon their nature of work – the former being engaged in agricultural operations and the latter in non-agricultural activities.
Criteria of an Urban Place
(1) A place designated by administrative status;
(2) A minimum population;
(3) A minimum population density;
(4) A concept of contiguity to include or exclude under suburban area or loosely scattered settlement;
(5) A proportion engaged in non-agricultural occupations; and
(6) A functional character.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
2. BASIC TERMINOLOGIES
• Agriculture: The science or practice of farming, including
cultivation of the soil for the growing of crops and the
rearing of animals to provide food, wool, and other products.
• Land use : the use of land for particular propose (agriculture,
settlements, forest )
• Intensive farming: Intensive farming or intensive agriculture
is a kind of agriculture where a lot of capital and labor is
used to increase the yield that can be obtained per area. The
use of large amounts of pesticides for crops and of
medication for animal stocks is common. 2Prepared by Wesley
3. CONT……..
• Extensive farming: Extensive farming or extensive
agriculture (as opposed to intensive farming) is an
agricultural production system that uses small inputs
of labor, fertilizers, and capital, relative to the land
area being farmed.
• Isotropic: Same.
• Bid rent: how much someone is willing to pay for a
particular piece of land.
3Prepared by Wesley
4. INTRODUCTION
• The agricultural land use model was developed by JOHANN
HEINRICH VON THEUNEN (1783-1850) in early 1800’s (19th
century) but it wasn't translated into English until 1966.
• He was a German skilled farmer having knowledge about
economics. His model is also known as “concentric rings
theory of agricultural land use.”
• The model has 4 rings which developed around the central
city. Each ring shows a different type of agricultural land use.
• Von Thunen’s model was created before industrialization,
highways, railroads, factories, etc. came into light.
4Prepared by Wesley
7. CONT……
• According to Von Thunen’s model, the relative cost of
transport for different agricultural commodities to the
central market determines the agricultural land use in
the city.
• The most productive activities will be closest to the
center market and the activities not productive
enough will be located away from center city.
7Prepared by Wesley
8. ASSUMPTIONS
1. The land must be isotropic with no river, mountain etc.
2. The isolated state is surrounded by an occupied wilderness.
3. The soil quality and climate are consistent throughout the
state.
4. The transport cost is proportional to the distance.
5. All farmers have equal access to transport.
6. All the farmers are economically rational.
7. All farmers have equal information regarding market
demands, cost of production and they all attempt to
maximize profits.
8Prepared by Wesley
9. EXPLANATION OF VON THUNEN’S MODEL
1. There are four rings of agricultural activity surrounding the
city. Dairying and intensive farming occur in the ring closest
to the city. The related products (vegetables, fruit, milk and
other dairy products) have the highest profits, but also the
highest transportation costs because they are vulnerable
and perishable.
2. Timber and firewood will be produced for fuel and building
materials in the second zone. Before industrialization (and
coal power), wood was a very important fuel for heating
and cooking. Wood is very heavy and therefore difficult
and costly to transport.
9Prepared by Wesley
10. CONT………
3. The third zone consists of extensive field crops such as
grains for bread. Since grains last for longer periods than dairy
products and also lighter than wood, their transport cost will
therefore be lower allowing its production to be further from
the city.
4. Ranching is located in the final ring surrounding the central
city. Animals can be raised far from the city because they are
self-transporting and thus have low transport costs. Beyond
the fourth ring lies the unoccupied wilderness, which is in a
greater distance from the central city for any type of
agricultural product. 10Prepared by Wesley
12. BID RENT CURVE (Economic Rent)
NB: As distance from the city center increase, the cost of
the land reduces
12
Prepared by Wesley
13. CONT………..
• The model compares the relationships between production cost, the market price
and the transport cost of an agricultural commodity and is expressed as follows:
R= Y(p-c)- Yfm
R = Rent per unit of land.
Y = Yield per unit of land.
p = market price per unit of yield.
c = Average production costs per unit of yield.
m = Distance from market (in kilometers or miles).
f = Freight rate per unit of yield and unit of distance. 13
Prepared by Wesley
14. EXPLANATION
• All agricultural land users are maximizing their
productivity (rent), which in this case is dependent
upon their location from the market (Central City).
The role of farmer is to maximize his profit which is
simply the market price minus the transport and
production costs.
• The most productive activities (gardening or milk
production) or activities having high transport costs
(firewood) locate nearby the market.
14Prepared by Wesley
15. CRITICISM ON MODEL
•Different transportation costs. Example: boats are the
cheapest. mode of transportation.
•variations in topography.
•Soil fertility.
•Changes in demand or price of the commodity.
•The invention of refrigeration has largely diminished
the importance of the perishability factor.
•Not only physical but social, political and cultural
factor also affect agricultural location.
15Prepared by Wesley
16. CONCLUSION
Even though the Von Thunen model came into light in time
before introduction of factories, highway and even railroads, it is
still an essential model in geography. The Von Thunen model is
an excellent illustration of the balance between land cost and
transportation costs. As one gets closer to a city, the price of land
increase. Farmers should balance the cost of transportation, land
and profit and focus on producing the most cost-effective
products for the market so as to receive greater profits.
