Answer 1

The factor that resulted in less available farmland and more privatized farmland during the Industrial Revolution is enclosure. Enclosure was the process by which common lands were enclosed and privatized, usually by wealthy landowners, leading to the displacement of small farmers and the consolidation of land in the hands of a few. This resulted in less available farmland for small farmers and more privatized farmland owned by the wealthy elites.
