by increasing nutrients to the soil

During the middle ages a system of crop rotation was developed in which a field was used to plant one crop on year, another crop the next, and lay fallow the third year. This system allowed two thirds of the land to be in use for crops at any time. The previous system was a two crop system that only allowed half the fields to be in use for crops.
The four-field crop rotation system was developed in the 18th century, primarily attributed to the agricultural innovations in Britain. One of the key figures in its development was Charles Townshend, who promoted this system in the early 1700s. The method involved rotating wheat, barley, turnips, and clover to improve soil fertility and increase crop yields. This practice significantly contributed to agricultural productivity during the Agricultural Revolution.
The three-field system was a crop rotation system where one field was planted with a winter crop like wheat, one with a spring crop like barley or oats, and one left fallow. This allowed for the soil to replenish its nutrients as different crops would extract different nutrients from the soil.
4 field crop rotation is better than 3 year crop rotation because it could get the job done faster
This system is called Crop Rotation.
