Explain the factors that led to agrarian revolution in North America (USA)
Answer:
- Immigrants from Europe went to America and introduced knowledge, skills and the practices they had learned from Britain.
- Introduction of estates and plantation farming due to the availability of land.
America was sparsely populated.
- Use of machines to replace human labour e.g. The steel ploughs, cotton gin, tractors and combined harvester.
- Development of refrigeration which improved preservation of food and other perishable agricultural products.
- Development of roads, railways, water and air transport.
- Enhanced movement of farm produce to the market and farm inputs to the farms.
- Zoning due to difference in soil fertility and climate led to the specialization which increased food production. Each zone produced what could be produced best.
- European immigrants changed the land tenure system from communal to individual ownership. This encouraged maximum utilization of land by individual landlord.
- The government invested heavily in the field of science and technology in agriculture leading to better breeds of animals, quality
seeds, use of fertilizers and pest and disease control measures.
- Government also supported farmers by providing loans and employing extension agricultural officers
