The second Agricultural Revolution started in England in the early 1800s. Then it spread through the rest of Europe to nations like Belgium, France and Germany and other countries like Japan and the US.

Agricultural Revolutions resulted in food surpluses which resulted in population growth. Due to this, many farmers can pursue other careers that would help build the civilization. In England, the Agricultural Rev. allowed for almost half the population to move to cities where the industrial rev. took place later making factories and businesses.
Agriculture was improved with the introduction of potatoes, corn and other crop from the New World. Farmers also figured out a way to use all land at once and keep it fertile at the same time. A process of enclosure began when public lands were enclosed by fences and allowed private farming. Developments such as new machines and chemical fertilizers were made to increase amount of land and crops and decrease the amount of labor. With agriculture on the rise, many people moved to cities(urbanization) and cities grew. The number of cities grew dramatically bet 1800s to 1900s along with once again a growing population.

In the 18th century agricultural output increased dramatically. Half the population was able to leave farms and head toward cities where new jobs in the industrial economy became available. New crops were introduced to Europe from the New World. farmers started rotating their crops and they used enclosure. New technoloigies were introduced. New plowing machines, as well as machines for seedingm abd reaping along with the development of chemical fertilizers. These advancements allowed farmers to increase the amount of land they could farm while decreasnig the number of people needed to do it. Urbanization was a natural outgrowth of the increased efficientcy in farming and agricuture. Cities grew. 1880 there were 20 cities in Europe but by 1900 there were 150 cities with much larger populations. Cities developed in areas that had natural resources and railroads for faster manufacturing and trade.

The second Agricultural Revolution started in England in the eighteenth century. Half of the population was able to leave their farms and head to cities (urbanization), where jobs in the new industrial economy was available.

Agriculture improved with the use of potatoes, corn and other crops that were introduced to Europe from the New World. Farmers also began rotating their crops, instead of using the three-field system. A process known as enclosure was also used, public lands were enclosed by fences, this allowed for private farming.

New technologies helped make farming more efficient. New machines for plowing, seeding and reaping were created. Along with the development of chemical fertilizers.

Cities also grew. In the 1800s there were only 20 cities in Europe. By 1900, 150 cities were scattered around with a population of more then six million people. Coal, iron, water and railroads were now available for manufacturing.

The Agricultural REvolution inspired the Industrial Revolution. Around the 1700s it appeared in England leading to new inventions. Jethro Tull invented the seed drill in 1701,and the horse drawn hoe. The enclosure movement came around which allowed people to gain their own lands and recieving their own crops. Due to the increase of food production the popualtion increased. This led to the desire of new productions. Urbanization was increasing. Cities were developing due to the production of lands and farming with the new toolds to improve plowing, seeding, and reaping. Cities were developing near coal , iron, water , railroads, and other helpful resources.

The Second Agricultural Revolution had begun when the agricultural output increased dramamtically. This had made most of the population to get up and move the cities, where better jobs will be available. There were many reasons why the Agricultural Revolution had started. To name a few would be: Many crops such as corn and potatoes were introduced to Europe from the New World. Farmers would start rotating their crops, and putting fenses around their crops.
The introduction on new technologies is what sparked up this revolution. Machines for seeding, plowing, and many others were made to help make farming easier. From all of this, Urbanization had occured. Which was the natural outgrowth of the increased effiecincies in farming and agriculture. Soon enough the population grew tremendously, making London the largest, with 6 million people living there.

The Agricultural Revolution of the 18th century effected as many as half of population, that now moved to cities for better jobs in the industrial economy. During this time period, many crops such as corn and potatoes were introduced by the American colonies. Like they did back during the middle ages, farmers started to to farm the lands each season without losing the nutrients in the crops. Private farming took place because of the enclosure proccess, fences were built to keep farming lands more for the farmers. New technologies such as machines for plowing, seeding, reaping made farmers get more land for farming, and less people were needed to do the farming. Cities grew very fast from 1800-1900 because of new farming techniques. Cities grew where natural resources were available. This revolution also got into Chinese and U.S, which effected those regions as well.

The 2nd agricultural revolution began in the 1800's. It spread to other countries such as Belgium, France, Germany, Japan and the US.

Agriculture Revolutions resulted in food surpluses. Potatoes, corn, and other crops were introduced to
Europe. Many farmers started to put fences around there crops.
The introduction on new technologies is what sparked up this revolution. Some new technology was created such as new plowing machines, seeding meachines and the development of chemical fertilizers. These advancements increased the amount of land each farmer had but decreased the number of people who were working on it. These changes caused many people to move into cities [also called urbanization] causing major cities to grow. Most cities developed in places with railroads, and natural resources. The number of cities, and the populations of cities was drastically increasing.

during the 1800s agriculture increased dramatically, this allowed half the population to leave the farms and settle in cities where there were many open jobs due to the new industrial economy. agriculture increased due to crops such as potatoes, corn, etc introduced to europe from the colonies of the new world and because of many new technologies. because of the agricultural revolution farmers started using the process of enclosure where public lands were enclosed by fencing. andcities grew dramatically due to the growth of population.

It changed the world because it resulted in food surplusses. It freed some people from farming because it allowed more than half the population to leave their farms and head towards the cities, where many jobs were available in the new industrial economy. Agricultural output increased because high yield crops such as corn and potatoes were introduced to Europe from New World colonies. Farmers started to rotate crops, which allowed them to farm all year and not use up all the nutrients of the land. Private farming allowed for private gain. Most importantly was the introduction of technology. This allowed for new machines and ways of farming to increase production and use less people to do it. As a result, many people moved to cities and cities grew.

During the Agricultural Revolution, a large amount of surplus crops were produced, letting farmers and workers leave the plantations to travel to cities to find other careers to follow. New technology was to thank for this Agricultural Revolution. Technology was more efficient and allowed farmers to grow more crops with less effort. With that, cities were able to expand and urbanize; the population bloomed. These cities grew to become world-known manufacturing cities.
