AAG 2011 Sessions 11766 Thünian Thought Today Allison Brown (U. Mass.) <[email protected]>
I am trying to revitalize the North American Branch of the International Thünen Society. To this end I would like to invite geographers interested in modern interpretations of location theory and regional science to participate in a panel discussion at AAG2011. As an example, much of my work is concentrated within the theoretical boundaries of the Freie Wirtschaft, the Free Cropping Zone where market gardening is the best agriculture use of land. I use a modified ring diagram to explain globalization of agriculture markets when I lecture. I would like to hear from others who appreciate the continued usefulness of Thünen's insights.
