New agri-technology and improved livestock breeding methods led to increased food production. This created an increase in population and an improvement in health.
Transporting goods on the other hand was also made much easier by the construction of canals. In the early 18th century goods were often transported by pack horse. Many more canals were dug in the late 18th century and the early 19th century. They played a major role in the industrial revolution by making it cheaper to transport goods.
