The meaning of agricultural regions

Pages 34-44 | Published online: 27 Feb 2008
 

Abstract

This paper explores the meaning to be given to agricultural regions. It notes the influence on the form of regions of the data and methods used to create them, and it criticises as arbitrary the use of classification as a means of data reduction in agricultural studies. It recommends the restriction of regionalisation to testing theories and historical studies while noting some of the difficulties encountered in these approaches.
