WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The innovations in agriculture radically changed how humans produced food. Crop rotation and livestock breeding resulted in higher yields, while new mechanical equipment required fewer workers.

Detailed explanation-2: -The agricultural revolution had a variety of consequences for humans. It has been linked to everything from societal inequality-a result of humans’ increased dependence on the land and fears of scarcity-to a decline in nutrition and a rise in infectious diseases contracted from domesticated animals.

Detailed explanation-3: -The development and advancement of tools and machines decreased the demand for rural labor. That together with increasingly restricted access to land forced many rural workers to migrate to cities, eventually supplying the labor demand created by the Industrial Revolution.

Detailed explanation-4: -Early farming methods included slash-and-burn farming. This is still used in some parts of the world today, such as Southeast Asia, central Africa, and northern parts of South America. Early farmers cut trees or grasses and then burned them to clear a field. What remained were ashes, which in turn fertilized the soil.

Detailed explanation-5: -Probably the most important development throughout the Agricultural Revolution was the intensification of agricultural output through new farming techniques, namely the development of crop rotation systems that involved turnips and clover. This system is known as the Norfolk four-course rotation.
