Von Thünen's model would have limited utility in explaining the distribution of agriculture in a situation where the land is not uniform in quality or access to markets is not equal.
One example of a situation in which von Thünen’s model would have limited utility in explaining the distribution of agriculture is when there are complex political boundaries, trade barriers, or transportation networks that significantly impact the location and accessibility of farmlands.
Von Thünen's model may have limited utility in explaining the distribution of agriculture in regions with complex topography, such as mountainous terrain, where factors such as elevation and slope can greatly influence land use patterns.
