Question

Explain briefly the factors, which led to the enclosures in England.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The factors which led to the enclosures in England were:

• Increasing population and due to it increasing demand for food grains and other things led to the enclosure in England.

• The rising prices of agricultural products such as wool, wheat, milk, fruits etc. also played a role in promoting enclosures in England.

• Industrialisation and war needs made foodgrain prices soar, making it necessary to take steps to increase its production.

• In the nineteenth-century, enclosures were seen necessary to make long-term investments on land and plan crop rotations to improve the soil.

• Enclosures also allowed the richer landowners to expand the land under their control and produce for the market.
