Agriculture and Economies Part 1

This is part one of a two-part lesson that outlines how the agricultural and industrial revolution have shaped our world and our economic systems.

This lesson focuses on the Neolithic Revolution when mankind first discovered agriculture, the Enclosure Movement that spurred the 2nd Agricultural Revolution and the Industrial Revolution, and the Green Revolution.

Useful for all audiences, this lesson was specially designed to be used in Texas classrooms and addresses standards found in the World Geography studies and World History TEKS when it discusses the differences between Subsistence and Commercial Agriculture and the effects of the Industrial Revolution.
