The Agricultural Revolution

In Agriculture, any development system in agriculture is technological development or change. Change is inevitable in every part of the world and also part of the development of life. The transfer and adoption of newly system will always be part in development of life.

Britain experienced change in all aspects of life during late 18th and early 19th centuries. As the results, this century was known as Industrial Revolution. Advances and technological innovation lead to in agricultural revolution and industrial production. Plus, economics expansion and changing in living condition was also happen and sense of national identity and civic pride become more eager in community. Moreover rural areas became urban and industrialized following advances

From 16th century onwards, organic agriculture was gradually replaced by a farming system. This farming system is fully depend on energy-intensive inputs. Agriculture revolution in England has divided in three major changes: the selective breeding of livestock; the removal of common property rights to land ; and new systems of cropping, involving turnips and clover. Three majors changes occurs due to a group of heroic individuals, who, according to one account, are a band of men whose name is Jethro Tull, Lord Townshend ,Arthur Young, Bakewell, Coke of Holkham and the Collings. All of these men are seen as having triumphed over a conservative mass of country bumpkins. In few years, they are thought to have single handedly that transformed English agriculture from a peasant subsistence economy to a thriving capitalist agricultural system. This system is capable of feeding the teeming millions in the new industrial cities. General agreement in the role of the ‘Great Men’ as pioneers and innovators has been exaggerated. One of the role is ‘Turnip’ Townshend, for example a boy when turnips were first grown on his estate , and he could not use of them. He must introduce it to Hanover. As we know Coke of Holkham was a great publicist, however some of the farming pratices he encouraged may been positively harmful. Then, Arthur Young, the agricultural writer, has been described as a

For the cost of transport to the market will affect the competitive power of agriculture input. Far away place will be higher cost that unaffordable by the supplier. Place near large centre of population generally develop market gardening and produce easily perishable goods which can be transported to the market for short distances without much damage. Then, transportation facilities is also important because they determine its genus. In regions far flung market and ill-equipped with transportation facilities commercial farming is a remote possibility. Improvements in the realm of transportation and communication have rendered possinle regional specialisation and thus made feasible fuller utilisation of the peculiar features of the specific soil and climate. Next , labour supply determines the character of agriculture. Agriculture requires skilled labour so that they can appreciate the subtle relations osf season and soils with crops and adopt the requisite culture practices. Agricultural labour that determines the timely sowing ,harvesting and other cultural practices and ensures good returns. Plus, lack of capital is also the factor. The modern merchandise farming is becoming capital intensive to a large extent.

Social factors affect farming in a number of ways. Type of farming practiced ,it can be shifting cultivation, subsistence farming, extensive cereal cultivation or mixed farming and many more.
