The Revolution in Agriculture Main goal of traditional peasant society was a stability that would ensure local food supply. Tillers resisted changes that might endanger that. But food supply was never certain, and the farther east you went the worse it got. Harvest failure meant death of starvation or malnutrition on top of hardship, and people in the countryside had it worse b/c cities usually stored grain. Poor harvests led to higher prices, and even small increases of prices put strain on the peasant and artesian families. Many families fell back on the welfare of churches and local govt?s.
