Answer:

Crop rotation was used during the agricultural revolution. It allowed the soil to be healthier and prevented the nutrients from being stripped from the soil. Crop rotation is when your land in separated into different fields for different plants. Usually you would have two or three. One field is left fallow (land that is taken care of, but does not have any crops), and the other one/s are for whatever you choose to plant. Each season you rotate your crops so each field has a turn to be fallow.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example: you separate your land into three fields. Field 1 has potatoes, field 2 has wheat, and field 3 is fallow. Next season Field 1 is fallow, Field 2 has potatoes, and Field 3 has wheat.
