Here are the three main concepts from the Agriculture Unit for Human Geography:

1. Agricultural Practices and Geography:

- Influence of climate and geography on farming.

- Types of farming: intensive (e.g., market gardening) and extensive (e.g., shifting cultivation).

- Rural settlement patterns and survey methods.

2. Historical and Economic Impacts on Agriculture:

- Centers of domestication and global diffusion of crops and animals.

- Effects of the Second Agricultural Revolution and the Green Revolution.

- Economic factors: subsistence vs. commercial agriculture, land costs, technological advances.

3. Contemporary Agricultural Issues:

- Environmental impacts: pollution, desertification, deforestation.

- Modern agricultural challenges: biotechnology, GMOs, food security, urban farming.

- Social aspects: changing diets, roles of women in agriculture.

Map of Global Domestication Hearths

This map highlights all major domestication hearths at a global scale, which helps visualize these points and use them as reference throughout the year. This would be very useful for FRQs asking about domestication.

Diffusion of Crops

This map showcases major crops and their hearths with a global perspective, which is a great reference when analyzing diffusion throughout the world.

Article: Agricultural Practices

blakechin — 2024-06-04 17:17:49 UTC

This map is a great source because it compares some of the different types of agricultural practices. It discusses the pros and cons of each, which may be helpful for answering a FRQ on agriculture's impacts.

Map: World Distribution of Farming Types

blakechin — 2024-06-04 17:18:57 UTC

This map is useful for seeing the different types of farming practices in different regions of the world. Knowing the difference between commercial agriculture and subsistence agriculture is important. It's also necessary to understand the difference between intensive and extensive agriculture.

This is an image of the three types of land survey methods. It's also important to know which survey method different regions of the United States used.

Article: Map of Human Impact

2024-06-05 19:14:45 UTC

This article explains the ways that humans are impacting earth. It also provides three examples to show what it is talking about. It could be helpful for teaching about the different ways earth is getting modified and where those take place.

Map of Human Impact

2024-06-05 19:21:10 UTC

This map comes from the article above. This map is what shows where humans are modifying the earth. It can also be helpful by showing what parts of earth are being used less or are better preserved.

Map: World Climate Zones

blakechin — 2024-06-05 19:24:21 UTC

This map is good for understanding the different world climates. It's important to know how climate affects the type of agriculture performed and the types of crops grown.

Image: Mind Map of Modern Agricultural Challenges

2024-06-05 19:33:15 UTC

This image shows modern problems in the environment. It also shows possible solutions and things anyone can do to help. This would be a helpful image to look at when studying the different challenges and how new technology can solve those problems.

Image: Chart of Changing Diets

2024-06-06 23:02:53 UTC

Changing diets is an example of a problematic social aspect in agriculture. With changing diets, some farmers are forced to change their agricultural practices which is time consuming and expensive. That leads to the food also being more expensive which can negatively affect less wealthy people.

Map of Pollution Around The World

2024-06-07 08:40:53 UTC

This map shows where on earth there is pollution. It is helpful to show how pollution is spread around. Also, it is interesting to compare to the other map because that can show you what parts of the world that are modified are equipped to handle pollution. This map can be helpful to look at when differentiating between developed and developing countries.

Image: Rural Settlement Patterns

blakechin — 2024-06-07 15:39:11 UTC

This is a good visualization of the different types of settlement patterns. You can often connect these different settlement patterns to agricultural practices.
