The 18th and the 19th centuries saw a lot of change and improvements in the agricultural sector in England. There were many farmers who had enclosed their lands. They pressurized the government to pass on the bill for the Enclosure Acts.
Passing this Enclosure Act helped the farmers in promoting the production of grains. The landlords converted large areas of land like the pasturelands, open fields, the areas in the forests that have been cut down, etc. into agricultural fields.
They started by growing clover and turnip plants, which helped in increasing the soil's nitrogen content to a huge extent. Also, they practised the system of crop rotation which helped them in increasing the soil fertility. Therefore, it resulted in increased production of the foodgrains.
