British Agricultural Revolution

The British Agricultural Revolution, spanning roughly the 17th to 19th centuries, was a period of significant farming advancements that increased food production and efficiency. Innovations like crop rotation, selective breeding, new machinery, and enclosure of common lands transformed traditional farming. These changes led to higher yields, reduced labor needs, and supported population growth. The revolution also contributed to urbanization by freeing up labor for emerging industries, laying the groundwork for the Industrial Revolution and modern agricultural practices. Overall, it marked a major shift from subsistence farming to a more productive and commercially oriented agriculture system in Britain.
