What was the enclosure movement, and how did it lead to a much more sustainable food production system within Britain?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The Enclosure Movement was a push in the 18th and 19th centuries to take land that had formerly been owned in common by all members of a village, or at least available to the public for grazing animals and growing food, and change it to privately owned land, usually with walls, fences or hedges around it.

Explanation:

because it ensures that more food was being grown

British farmers planted their crops on small strips of land while allowing their animals to graze on common fields shared collectively. However. the British parliament passed a legislation, which allowed the common areas to become privately owned. Enclosed land was under control of the farmer, who was free to adopt better farming practices. Following enclosure, crop yields and livestock output increased while at the same time productivity increased enough to create a surplus of labor.
