The agricultural revolution of the Middle Ages had far reaching economic, social, and political consequences. What were they?
The agricultural revolution of the Middle Ages had 3 main effects. It increased population, It gave more power to peasants, and it increased productivity. As monasteries got access to tools along with Lords, productivity increased which in turn also boosted the population. Productivity also increased as the need for human labor began to decrease with more effective technology. This revolution also gave power to the peasants because they could start to set up parishes, blacksmith's shops and even taverns.
