Agriculture and the Industrial Revolution

The Agriculture Revolution, beginning in the 18th century, transformed farming with innovations like crop rotation and mechanization, increasing food production and freeing people from rural labor. This shift supported population growth and urbanization. The Industrial Revolution followed in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, marked by advancements in manufacturing, steam power, and technology, which drastically changed how goods were produced. Together, these revolutions laid the groundwork for modern economies, boosting productivity, creating jobs, and enabling societies to develop faster and more complex economies.
