Detailed explanation-1: -During the 18th century, another Agricultural Revolution took place when European agriculture shifted from the techniques of the past. New patterns of crop rotation and livestock utilization paved the way for better crop yields, a greater diversity of wheat and vegetables and the ability to support more livestock.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Agricultural Revolution brought about experimentation with new crops and new methods of crop rotation.
