Crop rotation has been part of agriculture since virtually the very beginnings of agriculture, so it is impossible to know the name of the individual who had the idea. Every early agrarian society has had some form of crop rotation. The native Americans even had the idea of beneficial interplantings.

What is the system of crop rotation used in the later middle Ages and how it increased the amount of food being grown?
In the Middle Ages, one important improvement was the three field system of crop rotation, in which a field would be planted with one crop in one year, a different crop the next year, and no crop in the third year so it could lie fallow and recover. Prior to this, a different system was used, but the three field system increased the amount of available land for farming by a third. This system of crop rotation meant that more people could be fed by each farmer, and this was one of the important factors in the growth of towns and cities.

What was rotation in the Middle Ages?
A field rotation system was a schedule for planting different crops so the same crop would not grow in the same field year after year. The early system used in the Middle Ages was the two field system, in which the field was tilled for a crop one year and allowed to recover the next. Later, the three field system was used, in which a field was tilled for one crop one year, tilled for a different crop the next year, and allowed to lie fallow to recover in the third. Fallow fields were used for grazing.

Different crops have different nutrient needs and growth patterns, and rotating crops helps to balance the soil ecosystem and reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
