Inventions like the Cotton Gin made farming much more efficient. This led to more time being devoted to industry and less time on agriculture.

The new farming techniques helped create more food for the growing population. Since the Industrial Revolution brought more people, the new farming techniques made it easier to feed them.

Hope this helps!
