Q) Why are farmers facing economic differences?
A) More cities are being developed and taking up crop space. Therefore markets are going out of buisness where farmers sell produce. In other countries farmers cant afford fertilizers for their crops, and as population keeps increasing there's more demand for food than famers can grow.

The reason why farming varies around the world relates to distribution across space of cultural and environmental factors. Elements of the physical environment, such as climate, soil, and topography, set broad limits on agricultural practices and farmers make choices to modify the environment in a variety of ways. Broad climate patterns influence the crops planted in a region and local soil conditions influence the crops planted on an individual farm. How farmers deal with their physical environment varies according to dietary preferences, availability of technology, and other cultural traditions.

More Developed Countries have less agriculture then Less Developed Countries. The countries that contain the most agriculture would be mainly Europe, such as Germany, Great Brittan, the Netherlands, and Denmark. More developed countries are more globalized and urbanized. The rural areas of MDC’s have depleted in size, but they still thrive in some parts of each individual country. Depending on the country is where the agricultural areas are found, but traditionally they are found on the outskirts of main cities, and along the borders of the country. That is not true for all countries; some have agriculture in the major cities, and other places all throughout the country.
More developed countries face many challenges when it comes to agriculture. As the countries developed so did the cities, which eliminated a lot of the space for farmlands. The population grew and so did the want for urbanized space. They faced the demolition of most of the land used for agriculture. Also some countries face pollution. The nutritional value of the soil and how fertile the earth is can also be a problem with agriculture in any country, but the population and care of the land also causes issues.

Farm loan rates, like any other rates vary depending on the value of the farm, the amount of money needed, the condition of the economy, and the length of the loan.
