More people farmed because they could transport crops easily.
Improved transportation (roads, canals, railways) let farmers get produce to distant markets faster and cheaper, encouraging commercial farming and settlement of new farmland. (It also later helped some people move to city jobs, but the primary direct effect listed is easier transport of crops.)
