Who was considered the 'Father of the Renaissance' among painters?
(1401 - 1428), born as Tommaso di Ser Giovanni di Simone, was known as a trailblazer of the Quattrocento period of the Italian Renaissance. His nickname was "Simple Tom" and he was also known as the "Father of Renaissance Painting" because he used the new approach in painting.
No one "invented" Renaissance art. The Renaissance emerged alongside the re-emergence of humanism, which sparked a widespread curiosity that led to advancements in science, architecture, mathematics, art, literature, and more.
I suppose you could say that art patrons like churches or the Medici family played a huge role in the Renaissance; they are responsible for the creation of nearly all of the famous Renaissance works you know of today. Da Vinci's The Last Supper, for example, was commissioned for the dining hall of a monastery.
Other famous Renaissance artists include Michelangelo, Botticelli, Mategna, Titian, and Raphael.
As you can see, the Renaissance can't be attributed to just one person. It is, rather, the result of an entire culture that valued discovery and advancements.

When did farming improve in the middle ages?
Really, farming improved all through the Middle Ages.
There were a large number of developments that effected medieval farming. Some of them were European inventions, others were European adoption of ideas invented elsewhere. Also, a number of crops were introduced to different parts of Europe from Islamic countries, and while much of this was in Spain of the 8th century, some of it was in places like Hungary, much later. Hops were a new crop developed internally in Europe, and there might have been others.
Many of the improvements cannot be dated, and some cannot even be placed geographically. Among those that came early, were the horseshoe, the horse collar, the heavy plow, and the European type of wheelbarrow, all of which were early medieval developments. Three field crop rotation may have come later.
Some inventions did not improve farming directly, but improved farming by improving markets that were available for farmers. These things included such things as the inventions of new spinning wheels and looms, and the invention of distilling brandy and whiskey.
There is a related question below about what the improvements were.

How was the Renaissance different from today?
The Renaissance brought one of the major changes in the history of art. Every period has its own style, perhaps copied from another time, but has a new ingredient. The renaissance is no exception.
Renaissance literally means rebirth. Rebirth of knowledge. Rebirth of art. What we must understand is that the renaissance was a time for genii, many involved within the world of architecture, painting, sculpture, and more. Let us divide these into groups.
ArchitectureThe renaissance people started doing something completely different that was the main difference between them and the middle ages' people. They looked at their past, that is, at the architectural wonders of the Romans', Greeks' and other famous peoples. many admired buildings stand today, like the Colosseum and pantheon in Italy people as Brunelleschi ,da Vinci, Michelangelo and Raphael built things as though from the ancient time. Brunelleschi was known as the father of architecturebecause of his outstanding structural ideas on The Dome of Florence It still stands today.
Painting Paintings were not made for fun at those times. They were ordered to be made by patrons and were drawn for them by artists. the main change, however, that drastically changed the world, was PERSPECTIVE . The art of a third dimension was unbelievably real. Techniques of shadow, lighting, size, color, blurry effect, and other were ALL used in a painting. the father of perspective was called da Vinci, who was so enthusiastic about perspective he even created a device to help him with the vanishing point in drawings.
SculptureSculpting was changed because of the first free nude standing statues in a long time, and this shocked people greatly. Donatello's David created chaos, but soon after, many of the famous sculptures were carving and sculpting nude figures as well and the style caught on. one of the most memorable sculptor was Michelangelo, who could carve miracles from marble like the David.
All in all, we must admit that the renaissance led to great sculptures, buildings and paintings. There were many more changes in this period not just of art but of science, math and biology. The rebirth of art was a miracle .
