The enclosure systems appeared in agricultural field in England in 16th century . The enclosure movement was necessitated by the industrial Revolution in Britain which obviated the need for the larger section of society to cultivate land as people shifted to towns .
1) The price of wool soared up in international market in the 16th century . As a result , the farmers of England wanted to expand wool production to earn more and more profits . They virtually kept on controlling huge area of land in compact blocks to facilitate improved breeding and ensuring good feed for the sheep . Therefore , they began dividing and enclosing common land and building hedges around their fields .
2) The English population increased tremendously - from demands for foodgrains . The landlords were encouraged to produce more and more foodgrains . Consequently , common lands were taken and enclosed .
3) During this period , Britain was industrialising very fast . There was a great exodus of people from rural areas to towns in search of jobs . As the urban population grew , the market of foodgrains expanded and the prices of foodgrains rocketed . Therefore , the peasants were encouraged to produce more and more , hence the Encl movement .
4) France was at war with England during the end of 18th century . This slowed down the import of foodgrains in England . This led to soaring up of prices of foodgrains in England. Thus the landowners were encouraged to enclose lands and enlarge the area under foodgrains cultivation .
