The agricultural revolution that took place in the 18th century, leading to significant changes in farming, is called the British Agricultural Revolution. This era was characterized by innovations such as crop rotation, selective breeding, and the introduction of new agricultural tools. Advancements like the seed drill and the enclosure movement enabled more efficient farming practices, greatly increasing food production. The effects of these changes contributed to increased urbanization and fueled the Industrial Revolution as fewer workers were needed on farms, allowing them to seek employment in emerging industrial sectors.
