What impact did the Agricultural Revolution have on the Industrial Revolution?

The Agricultural Revolution helped bring about the Industrial Revolution through innovations and inventions that altered how the farming process worked. These new processes in turn created a decline in both the intensity of the work and the number of agricultural laborers needed.

How did the Agricultural Revolution Impact England?

The Agricultural Revolution in Britain proved to be a major turning point, allowing population to far exceed earlier peaks and sustain the country's rise to industrial preeminence. It is estimated that total agricultural output grew 2.7-fold between 1700 and 1870 and output per worker at a similar rate.

How did the Industrial Revolution contribute in the field of agriculture?

New technology, including chemicals and larger tractors, allowed farmers to work larger areas of land with less labor. Government policies encouraged farmers to scale up their operations. Farmers were also motivated by economies of scale—the economic advantage of producing larger numbers of products.

Was the Agricultural Revolution part of the Industrial Revolution?

In all, the Agricultural Revolution was an important cause of the Industrial Revolution. The Agricultural Revolution took place in Britain in the 1700s and involved inventions and innovations that led to an increase in food production.
