  5. What Is the Global Pattern of Agriculture and Agribusiness? Commercial agriculture: Large-scale farming and ranching operations that employ vast land bases, large mechanized equipment, factory-type labor forces, and the latest technology • Roots in colonial economic system • Today, global production made possible by advances in transportation and food storage

  6. World Climates(Köppen Classification System)

  7. World Agriculture

  8. World Agriculture • Definite correlation between the World Climate and Agriculture Maps • Drier lands rely on livestock & ranching • Moister climates marked with grain production

  9. Agriculture in LDCs • Extensive subsistence agriculture • Shifting cultivation • Pastoral nomadism • Intensive subsistence agriculture • Intensive subsistence with wet rice dominant • Intensive subsistence with wet rice not dominant

  10. Extensive Subsistence Agriculture Qashqai nomads using paved roads to move their animals near Shiraz, Iran.

  11. Intensive Subsistence Agriculture Terraces create flat land for wet (irrigated) rice on hilly land in Indonesia.

  12. World Rice Production, 2005 Fig. 10-6: Asian farmers grow over 90% of the world’s rice. India and China alone account for over half of world rice production.

  13. Plantation Agriculture • Cash crops are part of the colonial legacy: sugar, bananas, coffee, cocoa, tea, rubber • Goal is to protect these cash crops: • Governments implement quotas & offer subsidies, producers may attempt collective action and multinational corporations at times fight federal governments • At times cash crops are grown instead of food crops

  14. Contemporary Cash Crops • Cotton: • Initially produced mostly in India, also Nile Delta, Punjab Region, Sudan, Uganda, Mexico & Brazil (European colonies) • Now production is worldwide (Core countries also) • Now in competition with synthetic fibers • Rubber: • Initially only found in rainforests along equator • As a result of colonization the largest plantations are in SE Asia now • Now in competition with synthetic rubber

  15. AP Human Geography 3/18/14http://mrmilewski.com • OBJECTIVE: Examine world agriculture and agribusiness. APHugV.B.1 • I. Journal#83pt.A -Watch the following: -Oregon Farmers Surprised to Find Fish in Fields • II. Quiz#45 • III.

  16. Luxury Crops • Suitable environment and available labor in colonies led to establishment of plantations that focused on Luxury Crop production • Examples: Tea, Cacao, Coffee, Tobacco • Typically labor wages are very low • Most of what is produced is sent abroad

  17. Fair Trade Agriculture • Fair trade coffee: Shade-grown coffee produced by certified fair-trade farmers, who then sell the coffee directly to coffee importers • Guarantees a “fair trade price” • Over 500,000 registered farmers, in more than 20 countries • Often organically grown • Purchase commitment by Starbucks and other chains

  18. Illegal Drugs • Difficult to map • Poppy: Heroin and Opium production • SE & SW Asia, esp. Myanmar (Burma) and Afghanistan • Coca: Cocaine production • Colombia, Peru & Bolivia • Marijuana: • most of what is imported into the US comes from Mexico

  19. Agriculture in Developed Countries • Mixed crop and livestock farming • Dairy farming • Grain farming • Livestock ranching • Mediterranean agriculture • Commercial gardening and fruit farming • Access to markets

  20. World Milk Production, 2005 Fig 10-8: Milk production reflects wealth, culture, and environment. It is usually high in MDCs, especially production per capita, and varies considerably in LDCs.

  21. Milk Production in MDCs & LDCs1960-2005 Milk production has grown more rapidly in LDCs than in MDCs since the 1960s.

  22. Combines on Wheat in Kansas Combines can reap, thresh, and clean crops like wheat in a single operation.

  23. Mediterranean Agriculture Grapes loaded in vineyards on slopes above the Douro River in northern Portugal

  24. Environmental Impacts of Commercial Farming • Overfishing • Overgrazing • Clearing of forests to facilitate agriculture and trade • Leeching of pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, hormones and fertilizers into groundwater

  25. Agribusiness and the Changing Geography of Agriculture • Agribusiness: Businesses that provide a vast array of goods and services to support the agricultural industry • Spatial concentration of agricultural activities • Relationship to subsistence farming • Privileged large landowners • Government organization of agriculture • Impact of markets
