Which of the following statement about Von Thunen’s Model of Agricultural land use is NOT correct?

Correct option is D

According to Von Thunen’s model, as the distance from the market increases, the intensity of cultivation and yield decrease, not increase. Zone-III in Von Thunen's model is generally associated with less intensive forms of agriculture, such as crop rotation systems that are less focused on high yields compared to areas closer to the market.
Information Booster:
· Von Thunen’s Model focuses on the relationship between the cost of land and the cost of transportation to determine agricultural land use.
· The model assumes that products that are expensive to transport or spoil quickly (e.g., dairy) are produced close to the market, while those easier to store and transport (e.g., grains) are grown farther away.
· Zone-I (closest to the market) is typically used for dairy and perishable goods.
· Zone-II is used for forestry and firewood.
· Zone-III focuses on grains and field crops, which are less perishable and require less intensive farming.
· Zone-IV and V are used for extensive farming practices and livestock grazing.
Additional Knowledge: 
Zone-I (Dairy and Market Gardening): Being closest to the market, these products require quick delivery and intensive land use, which results in high transportation costs being offset by the proximity to the market.
Zone-II (Forestry): Timber and firewood are grown here because of high transportation costs but low perishability, making it profitable to locate them slightly further from the market.
Zone-III (Crop Rotation and Grains): This zone focuses on less intensive agricultural practices like crop rotation, where yields decline as distance from the market increases.
