Agricultural Revolution : A Modern Profession That Was Adopted By Human Beings

Farming has been a source of work ever since man has been introduced to the earth, but the past 100 years have been promising in continuing to provide for the needs of the growing population. The people have become more educated, and technology has become much more advanced. The two have come together to boon the land and animals so that they produce to their fullest potential. The people of the world have been influenced to the extent that they work smarter not harder to provide for the growing population. Farming, a crucial necessity to the survival of mankind, has evolved in the area of education of the people which has assisted in the advances of technology, land, and animal production which will lead to the provision of food for the growing

The Enlightenment period, known as the Age of Reason, was the period during the 18th and 19th century. It was known as one of the greatest moments in history, the time of transformations, reformations, revolutions and many other critical events that ever took place in human history. It is also credited for all of the revolutions that helped to change and enlighten mankind. The Agricultural Revolution paved the way for the Industrial Revolution through its population growth by increasing the food supply. The outcome of the advancement of agriculture is due to the development industrialization. When it comes to economic development in different countries, Agriculture has always been the most important role. When agricultural production increases, the average income of the rural communities, industrialization, and urbanization also lead to an increased demand in industrial production. A lot of small farmers and peasants were unemployed and lost their land to rich landholders and because of this, labor was increased and the production of food was lower causing the standard of living to be higher. During this time, England seemed to be more socially and economically wealthy and had everything they needed to fuel the industrial revolution. At the same time, England’s cottage industry was not able to fulfill its demands because of its increasing population. The population was doubling and the ratio of demand to supply increased tremendously. Therefore, people had to focus more on

The replacement of the idle fallow with crops constituted the Agricultural Revolution. It was important because the new types of crops made allowed farmers to feed their animals more, which led to a greater amount of meat and improved diets. It had the greatest effect in England and the Low Countries.

Since the beginning of human development humans have been revolving around agriculture. It is known that, “Archaeologists and palaeontologists have traced the origins of farming to around 10,000 years ago” (Mason). This is truly remarkable to believe that the revolution as a whole may pivot on this period so long ago. Once this happened agriculture began popping up all around the ancient world spreading like wildfire. This planting of crops and domestication of animals allowed people to develop specialization because not everyone had to forage anymore. This allowed

The revolution is surrounded by many inventions including fertilizers and pesticides. It is through these innovations that developed countries were able to feed their people (Standage, 199). As Standage refers to it, feeding the world. Standage's descriptions of this revolution clearly indicate that developed countries achieved what they have by feeding their people first. As such, food can be used for the betterment of the nation. Through the book, the writer focuses on the impacts of agriculture on various aspects of a human's life. The main audience seems to be the people (leaders) who have the role in making and implementing food

By 1750 U.S was mainly agricultural, this meant the country was essentially pre-industrial and domestic. According to our text 9 out of every 10 Americans lived on a farm (2). Households were generally engaged in subsistence farming and production was done mostly for home consumption. America had an immeasurable amount of fertile unused land that the government gave away (2). At the time of George Washington's inauguration in 1789 the U,S population comprised of 4 million people. The population had doubled to 8 million at the time of the War of 1812 and then again to 16 million in 1835. This rapid population growth did not stop until 1858, we did however continue to increase in number just at a slower pace, hitting our 100 million mark in 1915, and 300 million in 2006 (3). As the population rapidly increased so did the output of farm labor.

They both Jump started the rise in population. The agricultural revolution happened first about 10,000 years ago. People began to grow crops, raise domestic animals, and live sedentary lifestyles. People began to live longer and produce more children. During the mid-1700s, the industrial revolution greatly increased population. It was a shift from an agricultural society to an urban society powered by fossil fuels.

The Agricultural Revolution was a time period in which farmers begin to use efficient ways to plant things. This event led to fewer people being needed on farms since the machines used for farming only need a few workers. Because farming took fewer workers, the population of Europe increased. Workers were able to have a life outside of the harsh labor of farming. The Agricultural Revolution helped paved the way for the Industrial Revolution in Britain. The industrial revolution was a time period in the 18th century in which the British experienced changes in technology and an increase in power. These technological changes made possible a great increase in the use of natural resources and the mass production of manufactured goods. Although the industrial revolution seemed like a helpful event to the people of Europe, it caused more damaging effects than it did good.

The Agricultural Revolution also referred as the Neolithic Revolution was the transition of many individuals going from a lifestyle of hunting and gathering to one of agriculture and settlement, allowing them to provide for a larger population. In these settled communities humans examined and worked with plants and learned how they grew and developed. As a result, Riley states how the discovery of agriculture, which at the beginning was recognized to be a positive step by women, was by the end of the period to have had unforeseen, and unfortunate, consequences for

The demographic changes were evident, from 791 million in 1750 to 1.7 billion in 1900. This demographic ‘jump’ took place because agricultural inventions such as mechanical reaper, chemical fertilizers, and refrigerators increased the food productions, thus leading to higher birth rate and lower death rate. With an increasing population, people started migrating from rural to urban regions to find work and to have a stable life. However, not only the changes existed. Since all people were not wealthy, most of them still lived in impoverished conditions even after a great deal of development during the Industrial Revolution.

The agricultural revolution in England was the increase in the production in Britain due to other increases in land productivity and labor in the 17th to 19th century. The output grew much faster then the population at that time, which lead to very high productivity.

     Agriculture has changed dramatically, especially since the end of World War II. Food and fibre productivity rose due to new technologies, mechanization, increased chemical use, specialization and government policies that favoured maximizing production. These changes allowed fewer farmers with reduced labour demands to produce the majority of the food and fibre.

Agriculture is a vital part of society, and Agribusiness is of course the business behind it. While agricultural needs were different in ancient times, farming was always necessary. With agriculture came the domestication of plants and animals. This domestication allowed the human civilization to flourish. With time, new technologies and lifestyles changed the course of agriculture.
