The Norfolk system, was a new system in which four crops were rotated instead of three. This system also removed the fallow field and replaced it with turnips and clover. These made excellent winter cattle feed as well as enriched the soil with nitrogen which was found to exist on the tips of their roots. When the plant was removed, the root tips and nitrogen was left behind. This system greatly increased profits as it removed and enriched the fallow field.

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.
