Answers: new technology and greater access to farmland.
Why: New machines and innovations (steam engines, mechanized textile equipment, etc.) were central to industrialization. Improvements in agriculture (enclosures, crop rotation, better tools) increased food output and made more land productive, which supported population growth and freed many rural workers to move to factories. A decrease in the workforce or persistence with older farming methods would have hindered, not helped, the Industrial Revolution.
