farmers exchanged news of
experiments through farm journals
Enclosure

Enclosure: taking over and
fencing off land formerly
shared by peasant farmers

Gained pastures for sheep –
increased wool production

Millions of farms were
enclosed  increased output
and migration

Profits rose from farms from
the large fields

Needed less people to work
them – unemployment

Human cost  laborers were
thrown out of work

Small farmers were forced off
their land because they could
not compete with large
landowners

Villages shrank as people left
in search of work

Jobless farmers migrated to
towns and cities

Found a growing labor force
that would tend the machines
in the Industrial Revolution

 Population
5
Multiplies
million (1700) to 9 million (1800)
①
Decreased risk of death because created
surplus of food
②
People ate better so they were healthier
③
Added hygiene and sanitation & improved
medical care
Healthier = more food + sanitation & medicine
