Question

What innovations were implemented in the Spanish Americas to meet the growing need for raw materials from the new world?

Answer 1

In the 18th century, new agricultural techniques spread throughout industrializing nations.

The use of fertilizing root crops and improvements in land management enabled more land to be kept in
productive use.


This significantly improved upon previous two- and three-field rotation and made possible the continuance of industrialization by making more efficient use of land and sustaining
the growing population.
