Answer 1

It used more of the land and provided crops for livestock to eat year round.

Explanation: The four-course rotation eliminated fallow, kept all fields productive, and included fodder crops (turnips, clover) that fed livestock and restored soil fertility (via clover's nitrogen-fixing), boosting both crop and animal production.
