WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The British Agricultural Revolution, or Second Agricultural Revolution, was an unprecedented increase in agricultural production in Britain arising from increases in labour and land productivity between the mid-17th and late 19th centuries.

Detailed explanation-2: -Crop rotation helped soils maintain particular nutrients for a variety of crops, thus allowing for soil sustainability over time. Instead of using plots of land for the same crops every year, farmers began to rotate their crops, based on nutritional needs of the crops being planted each year.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Neolithic Revolution-also referred to as the Agricultural Revolution-is thought to have begun about 12, 000 years ago. It coincided with the end of the last ice age and the beginning of the current geological epoch, the Holocene.

Detailed explanation-4: -The first was caused by humans changing from being hunter-gatherers to farmers and herders. The second was caused by improvements to livestock breeding, farming equipment, and crop rotation. The third was caused by plant breeding and new techniques in irrigation, fertilization, and pesticides.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Neolithic Revolution started around 10, 000 B.C. in the Fertile Crescent, a boomerang-shaped region of the Middle East where humans first took up farming. Shortly after, Stone Age humans in other parts of the world also began to practice agriculture.

Detailed explanation-6: -As a result of the four-crop rotation system, British farmers could be more productive. The turnips replenished the soil with needed nutrients, provided another crop for farmers to eat and sell, and gave their livestock something to live on during the winter. The end result was more food and livestock.

Detailed explanation-7: -The Agricultural Revolution, from 1750 on to 1850, can best be explained as a massive success in the development of European populations.
