Agricultural
Improvement
By Lucy Huang
Why Were New Improvements
Created for China’s Agriculture?
China was a huge empire during the Han
Dynasty. Because they had so many people to
feed, farmers came up with new inventions to
make planting and caring for crops easier, thus
producing more crops to feed more people.
New Types of Farming Tools

Better plows
- Allowed for faster plowing, more land cover, and increased
crop production

Collar harness
-Allowed horses to pull heavier loads

Wheelbarrow
-Easier for farmers to carry heavier loads by hand

Watermills
-Used river power to grind grain faster
