The Agricultural Revolution of the 18th century, also called the British Agricultural Revolution, transformed farming techniques significantly. Innovations such as crop rotation, selective breeding of livestock, and the enclosure movement were pivotal. Field methods were improved, leading to increased productivity and efficiency. The introduction of new tools, like the seed drill by Jethro Tull, enabled farmers to cultivate more land effectively. These advancements spurred rural population growth, supported urbanization, and laid the groundwork for the Industrial Revolution by creating surplus food and a labor force, shifting agricultural practices into the modern era.
