Give examples of changes in agricultural location factors

Changes in agricultural location factors refer to changes over time in the factors that influence the distribution of agricultural production and the choice of agricultural activities. Examples are as follows:

1. In the southern region of China, rice cultivation is the main agricultural production activity. However, with the acceleration of urbanization, the land resources originally used for rice cultivation have gradually decreased, leading to changes in the locational factors of rice cultivation. In order to adapt to this change, some farmers have shifted their rice cultivation to more distant areas or have opted for other agricultural activities such as fruit cultivation or farming.

2. The reasons for the change in the locational factors of agriculture are manifold. The acceleration of urbanization has led to the reduction of land resources and the shortage of water resources, which has increased the cost of rice cultivation and decreased the income of farmers. At the same time, with the changes in market demand, some high value-added agricultural products, such as fruit trees, flowers and so on are gradually favored by the market, which also prompted farmers to adjust the structure of agricultural industry.

3, the progress of agricultural technology is also one of the important causes of changes in agricultural location factors. For example, the application of drip irrigation and sprinkler irrigation and other water-saving irrigation technology, so that some of the original because of the lack of water and can not grow crops in the area to be developed and utilized. At the same time, the application of new agricultural machinery and intelligent technology has also made it possible to improve the efficiency of agricultural production in some areas, thus changing the choice of agricultural location.

Disadvantages of changes in agricultural location factors:

1. Wastage of resources: with the advancement of agricultural technology and changes in market demand, agricultural location factors are constantly changing. However, such changes may lead to wastage of resources in certain areas. For example, certain areas may have abundant agricultural resources, but due to backward technology or insufficient market demand, these resources cannot be fully utilized, resulting in a waste of resources.

2. Ecological damage: Changes in agricultural location factors may lead to ecological damage. For example, certain areas may overuse chemical fertilizers and pesticides in pursuit of higher yields, leading to soil pollution, water shortages and other problems. In addition, certain areas may over-cultivate land in pursuit of economic benefits, leading to problems such as land desertification and soil erosion.

3. Production instability: Changes in agricultural location factors may lead to instability in agricultural production. For example, certain areas may suffer serious losses due to climate change, natural disasters and other factors. In addition, certain areas may face overproduction or underproduction due to changes in market demand, leading to instability in agricultural production.
