In the second agricultural revolution, agriculture intensified by promoting higher yields per acre and per farmer. The Enclosure Acts (Tragedy of the Commons) gave way to the Cottage Industry, where people are making and designing farming equipment and tools in their homes. This made agriculture  much more efficient and better farmers as well. Then in the third agricultural revolution, agricultural machines and genetic technology helped achieve economies of scale in production.
