The advantages of mechanical farming in England included the following:
Food production expanded
Dependence upon labourers decreased along with the uncertainty associated with them
The following were the disadvantages of mechanical farming in England:I i
Excess grain production along with imports from Europe led to fall in prices of foodgrain and agricultural depression.
Rights of peasants were undermined while richer farmers made profits. Many people lost their jobs and had to migrate from one place to another for livelihood.
Enclosures were seen as 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 more for the market thus earning profits.
The enclosure movement benefitted Britain in the following ways:
i) Farmers were able to develop their property, cut costs and introduce new farming methods.
ii) The original holdings increased as the smaller farms were now available for sale and purchase.
iii) Regular work became available for the landless agricultural workers instead of previously seasonal work.
iv) Both food productivity and quality increased, benefitting the population overall. This eventually led to the growth of cities and the industrial revolution.
