What is the most likely reason the Agricultural Revolution caused a population increase?

Wealthy landowners could afford to have many children. More and better food allowed people to be healthy and well fed. Tenant farmers were able to settle down and have families. Many people moved to cities in search of jobs.

The most likely reason the Agricultural Revolution caused a population increase was because "More and better food allowed people to be healthy and well fed" since the agricultural revolution led to a surplus of food supplies.

The second alternative is correct.

The Agricola revolution was a milestone in the history of mankind, since it led to increased productivity of the land, which now offers a much larger amount of food for each hectare of land.

The Agricultural Revolution, therefore, allowed the reproduction of human life to increase. Consequently, other revolutions like the industrial and the technological were only possible because the agricultural revolution gave food security to the human species, that can be involved in other questions.
