In this activity, students will examine how a series of agricultural innovations in 18th-century Britain transformed food production and set the population on a path of sustained growth. They will explore the shift from the communal open field system to enclosed private farming, the technologies of Jethro Tull and Joseph Foljambe, the four-crop rotation system of Lord Townshend, and the selective breeding methods of Robert Bakewell, gaining an understanding of how these developments together made the Industrial Revolution possible.

It has 14 questions for students to answer, as well as a paragraph response section for them to demonstrate their understanding of the topic.
