Answer 1

In the 19th century self sufficiency in food meant lower living standards and social conflict in Britain .

>Under pressure from landed groups the government also restricted the import of crops. The laws allowing the government to do this was termed as the corn law. Unhappy with the high food prices urban dwellers and industrialists forced the abolition of corn laws.
>After the corn laws were scapped food could be imported more cheaply than it could be produced within the country. British agriculture were unable to compete with the imports. vast areas were left unccultivated . Thousands of men and women were thrown out of work

It lowered the living standards of the people in Britain because

• There was immense growth of population of Britain during eighteenth century.

• This further aggravated the food prices in Britain.
