Investment in Agriculture As demand for cotton increased and people moved to cities, governments invested in agricultural research by establishing agricultural schools, societies, and experimental stations Led to new innovation in pesticides, breeding, food preservation, and farming techniques, allowed fewer farms to produce more food
Growth of Factories By 1800, steam engines were replacing water wheels as sources of power for factories, forcing owners to relocate near raw materials Cities grew around the factories built near central England’s coal and iron mines Manchester, Liverpool
Urbanization With the growth of factories in cities and the decline of agriculture people began searching for work within cities Cities such as London and Manchester soon became over populated with working class citizens Urban populations increased by over 400%
