Enclosure is the factor that resulted in less available farmland and more privatized farmland during the Industrial Revolution. Enclosure involved the practice of fencing off common lands and consolidating smaller, scattered plots of land into larger, more efficient farms. This process of enclosure often led to the displacement of small farmers and the concentration of land ownership in the hands of wealthy landowners. As a result, there was less available farmland for individual farmers and more privatized farmland owned by a smaller number of individuals.
