| Explain the connection between climate, wealth, and culture as influences on the geographic distribution of agricultural practices and what is the basic factor | Climate: gives people a range of choices for for crops better for certain climates. Wealth: expands these choices through machinery etc . Culture: cultural norms vary choices as well. Climate is the basic factor. the others expand limit or shape choices |
| Identify the five major types of agriculture in developing regions | 1. Pastoral nomadism 2. shifting cultivation 3. Intensive substance, rice 4. intensive subsistence, other crops 5. Plantation |
| Identify the six major types of agriculture in developed regions | 1. Mixed crop and livestock 2. Dairy farming 3. Commercial gardening and fruit farming 4.Grain farming 5.Mediterranean agriculture 6.Livestock ranching |
| Explain how pastoral nomadism works in the drylands of developing regions | its too dry for crops in dry regions. Also animal types can vary - can be camels, cattle, sheep, goats, etc |
| Explain how shifting cultivation works in the tropics of developing regions | This is when people shift from one field to another. 2 types are Slash and Burn and Fallow numbers. These are the most useful and common use in tropical regions with a lot of rainfall |
| Explain how intensive subsistence farming works in the high population concentrations of developing regions | It helps with the food surplus and staple and example is rice in Asia. It is needed a lot due to most of the population eating it. And without intensive subsistence farming rice, Asia's main food source would kill them |
| Describe reasons for growing crops other than wet rice in intensive subsistence regions | Some parts of Asia can't support wet rice. Wheat and Barley are the other 2 important crops. Some examples are interior India and northeastern China. This can is also like rice farming |

| Describe the impact of population growth on countries dependent on subsistence agriculture | This can make people starve due to population rising. |
| Describe Ester Boserup’s thesis regarding population growth and agricultural expansion | If you intensify production then you will be able to feed people |
| Explain the dilemma that farmers in developing countries face in balancing food and cash crop production | Farmers need stuff to up their food production like machinery, fertilizer, etc. in subsistence farming there is not lots of cash floating around to get these things |
| Discuss the causes and impact of drug trafficking | This can lead to corruption, violence, and development of organized crime and drug trafficking organization |
| Explain the impact of overproduction in developed countries, and describe methods used to curb the causes and effects of overproduction in these countries | This can cause subsidies for farmers. This can really help farmers |
| Describe von Thunen’s agricultural model and explain how it helps us understand the geographical arrangement of commercial agriculture | This theory helps explain choices for commercial farmers' surplus |
| Describe the green revolution | the invention and rapid diffusion of more productive agricultural techniques from 1950s into the 80s |
| Explain the controversies surrounding genetically modified foods | this can cause legal issues and can make people look bad. also they are banned in Europe and they don't sell well |
