<P> The British Agricultural Revolution , or Second Agricultural Revolution , was the unprecedented increase in agricultural production in Britain due to increases in labour and land productivity between the mid-17th and late 19th centuries . Agricultural output grew faster than the population over the century to 1770 , and thereafter productivity remained among the highest in the world . This increase in the food supply contributed to the rapid growth of population in England and Wales , from 5.5 million in 1700 to over 9 million by 1801 , though domestic production gave way increasingly to food imports in the nineteenth century as population more than tripled to over 32 million . The rise in productivity accelerated the decline of the agricultural share of the labour force , adding to the urban workforce on which industrialization depended : the Agricultural Revolution has therefore been cited as a cause of the Industrial Revolution . </P>
