§2.2 Countryside in 2050 part II

Today

- Part II of section 2.2 agriculture in 2050

- Work on assignments

Explain the terms: radius, treshold value and support base

The Netherlands is very good at agriculture. What problems does that cause? There are three in total. Try to mention at least 1!

Problems

1. - Nitrogen problems due to the use of manure
   
2. - Too much land use for agriculture (67%!)
   
3. - More drones and robots cause people to move away from the countryside -> resulting in population shrinkage in agriculture resulting in worse quality of life.

You need to do some groceries for your partens or grandma. What is the maximum distance in meters you are willing to travel to a supermarket?

03000

Radius

How many customers does a supermarket have on a daily basis? Make a guess.

03000

Read in your guidebook (or online!): G217
What is the difference between the support base and the treshold value of a amenity?

Time left?

Work on assignments 2.2: 

1,3,4,6,7 + 8 -> homework for next week 29 september!

On wednesday we will continue with section 2.2

People move away from the countryside

When residents, farms and facilities disappear from the countryside, space is created.

The question is: how do you set it up?

3 options

Option 1: distribution policy

• Fewer residents, farms and facilities in the countryside.
  
• More empty space to solve the housing shortage
• Moving homes to the cities

Suburbanization or decentralization -> spread homes, jobs and amenities more evenly across the country.

Option 2: Futureproof agriculture

Making agriculture future-proof:

• Less intensive agriculture: more nature, environment and animal friendly production.
• Generating sustainable energy

Benefit?

- birds and insects have a greater chance of survival

Give at least three ways to create a futureproof farm

Option 3: move agriculture

Land-dependent agriculture:

Concentrate in the most suitable areas (with fertile soils)

non-landdependent agriculture:

To business parks around cities

For example: vertical farms

What are the disadvantages of these options?

Disadvantages

- Job losses and less income

For example: pig farmers stop by:

busy local residents

new laws for animal, environmental and nature-friendly production

Good for: nature and the environment

Bad for: the farmers themselves
