Historically, dairy farming has differed from other forms of agriculture because...
1. it relied exclusively on animals.
2. farmers sold goods directly to consumers.
3. it needed to occur near urban areas.
4. processing was required for consumption.
5. it occurred only in developed countries.

Answer 1

Answer: 3: it needed to occur near urban areas

Step-by-step explanation:

- I’m assuming this is APHG Unit 5 or something similar

- Most farmers were usually further away from the city because land was cheaper the further it was. However, dairy farmers had to have land closer to urban areas/the markets.

- Other farmers could use the land further from the city because the products they made profit from were not perishable or not highly perishable. Dairy farmers had to be close to the markets (or urban areas) because all of their products were extremely perishable and needed to be accessible to consumers as quickly as possible.

- this has changed a little in recent years as technology has advanced and resources such as refrigerated trucks have appeared but overall, they are still close to the markets/urban areas

hope this helps :)
