Warm Up

This lecture explores the profound impact of the Agricultural Revolution (1750–1900) on the subsequent Industrial Revolution (1750–1850). We will discuss the transformation from subsistence farming to intensive agricultural production, which resulted from advancements such as crop rotation and the use of fertilizers. This increased food production led to population growth, reducing the need for agricultural labor and providing a workforce for emerging factories. Key inventions like the seed drill and steam engine revolutionized both agriculture and industry, marking a significant shift toward urban, machine-driven economies.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Warm Up • List three inventions that you can’t live without. • Explain why

  2. AGRICULTURAL REVOLUTION LEADS TOINDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION Lecture 15

  3. Life before Industrial Revolution • Most people worked the land using homemade tools • Made their own clothing • Grew their own food (sustenance farming)

  4. Agriculture Leads to Industry • Farming methods improve • Built levees to gain more farmland • Used fertilizer; crop rotation to restore soil • Combine small farms into large ones (enclosure) • Agricultural production increases • More food = more population • Less workers needed in the fields • More people available for factories

  5. Seed Drill

  6. A different kind of revolution • Agricultural Revolution (1750 – 1900) • Change from simply farming to massive production by using machines & new techniques • Industrial Revolution (1750 – 1850) • Change from a rural (farm), make-it-yourself economy to urban (city), machine driven manufacturing

  7. New Technology Becomes Key • New Sources of Energy developed • Coal powered steam engines • Intense heat of coal allowed for iron production

  8. Steam Engine
