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

The factors which led to the enclosures in England were:

→ Increasing population and due to it increasing demand of

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 role as a factor in promoting

enclosures in England.

→ Industrialization and war needs made food grain prices soar,

making it necessary to take steps to increase its production.

→ In the nineteenth century enclosure were seen necessary to

make long term investment 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.
