Agricultural revolution

Why was crop rotation such an important farming technique?

• it helped to keep the soil fertile
• it planted seeds in a straight line
• it enclosed all the common land so peasants had to move to the cities
• in water the crops

A time when new inventions and techniques made farming faster and easier is known as 

• The French Revolution
• The Industrial Revolution
• The Mechanical Revolution
• The Agricultural Revolution

Before the enclosure movement, what land did the peasants farm on?

• their neighbors land
• their parent's land
• the common land
• they didn't farm before the enclosure movement

IN which country did the Agricultural Revolution begin?

• France
• Spain
• The United States

What is subsistence farming?

• Growing just enough food to feed your family with not much left over to sell
• Farming as a business, to make a profit
• Farming only low-carb foods

Before 1750, most farming was powered by:

• solar, using mainly wooden tools
• people and horses, using mainly wooden tools
• nuclear, using mainly titanium tools
• petrol, using mainly wooden tools

During the industrial revolution, agriculture changed in which way?

• New machines and iron tools reduced efficiency
• New machines and iron tools improved efficiency
• Farmers grew larger due to selective breeding

Food became cheaper because

• More people needed to eat
• Fewer workers were needed to produce it
• More workers were needed to produce it
• People didn't have much money to spend

During the agricultural revolution, fewer agricultural jobs caused the rural population to   

•  increase in many areas as there was migration to the towns.
• decline in many areas as there was migration to the towns.
• Get really drunk
• grow, because people had more babies

Greater efficiency and mechanisation in farming meant that

• much less food could be produced, so people starved
• much more food could be produced, and the population would decline.
• much more food could be produced, and the population could grow.
