Agricultural Revolution

agriculture: The Rise of Commercial Agriculture As the Middle Ages waned, increasing communications, the commercial revolution, and the rise of cities in Western Europe tended to turn agriculture away from subsistence farming toward the growing of crops for sale outside the community (commercial agriculture). In Britain the practice of inclosure allowed landlords to set aside plots of land, formerly subject to common rights, for intensive cropping or fenced pasturage, leading to efficient production of single crops. In the 16th and 17th cent. horticulture was greatly developed and contributed to the so-called agricultural revolution.

It didn't happen in a single year, but a gradual change of many things over a period of time.

The British Agricultural Revolution describes a period of development in Britain between the 17th century and the end of the 19th century, which saw a massive increase in agricultural productivity and net output. This in turn supported unprecedented population growth, freeing up a significant percentage of the workforce, and thereby helped drive the Industrial Revolution. How this came about is not entirely clear. In recent decades, enclosure, mechanization, four-field crop rotation, and selective breeding have been highlighted as primary causes, with credit given to relatively few individuals.

"Thus not only will the same amount of land be able to feed more people; but each of them, with less labour, will be employed more productively and be able to satisfy his needs better." Condorcet

The agricultural revolution led to innovations such as the use of machinery, crop rotation, and selective breeding. This allowed for increased efficiency and productivity in farming practices. As a result, people were able to produce more food with less labor and resources.

the answer is either the Agricultural Revolution or the 1700's

Because the way the Paleolithic people lived depended on where they lived. Those in warm climates needed little clothing or shelter, people in cold climates sought protection from the weather in caves. Over time Paleolithic people created new kinds of shelter; the most common was probably made of animal hides held up by wooden poles. Also, since they farmed, they didn't have to move from place to place.

The Agriculture Revolution was when the old open field system, where fields were divided into strips and farmers grew their produce on these strips, was changed to the Enclosed field system, where fences were put around whole fields. The Agriculture Revolution happened in the late 1750's in Britain.

Crop rotation system developed in Britain during agricultural revolution increase crop yields by increasing nutrients in the soil.

The seed drill allowed more seeds to be utilized. Traditional methods (broadcasting) was extremely wasteful because most of the seeds would be eaten by animals. The seed drill allows seeds to be planted at a specific depth and rate.

The development of technology in farming equipment combined with the increase in available farmland and a favorable climate drove the British Agricultural Revolution. This was an important start because it was the beginning of many of the strategies used in today's agricultural world.

Agricultural revolution is when people began to domesticate plants and animals resulting in a reliable food supply. Many inventions were created during this time period, helping to invoke the industrial revolution.

Agricultural intensification is a process used to change the style of agriculture in the country. It is used to create more inputs and outputs in a certain area of agriculture.

The Agriculture Revolution began around 6-7,000BC.

well the main reason is because that is where we mostly get our food and nutrient foods and without that vegetarians wont be able to eat

farmers were able to work more efficiently

Farming became a more common thing and people started to live in permanent homes

He was an agriculture pioneer and he perfected a horse drawn seed drill and later a horse drawn hoe.

The Babylonians made and utilized a single-tube seed drill, but the exact year is not known. It was sometime around 1500 BC.

The Chinese developed a multi-tube seed drill, but again the year is not known. It was sometime in the 2nd century BC.

Camillo Torello made the first seed drill in Europe. He received a patent for it in 1566.

The seed drill as we now know it was invented in 1701 by agricultural pioneer Jethro Tull (Yes, the band was named after him).

It reduced the number of farmers a country needed to produce enough food.

Because of the increasing uses of agriculture. Humans were able to settle down and had a better supply of food, rather than being nomadic hunter gatherers. This led to healthier children and more people migrating to these settlements.

The agricultural revolution was what took us of of the hunter gatherer path and started society. If it had not happened, there wouldn't be any scientists, because everyone would spend all their time hunting and gathering. Without scientists, there would be no advancement in technology, and so no industry. Conclusively, if the agricultural revolution had not happened, then the industrial revolution would not have happened.
