Robert Bakewell (farmer)
British agriculturalist (1725–1795)
Robert Bakewell (23 May 1725 – 1 October 1795) was an English farmer, now seen as one of the most important figures in the British Agricultural Revolution and a pioneer of modern agriculture. As well as his work in crop production and soil management, he is well-known as the first to put forward systematic selective breeding of livestock. His advancements not only led to specific improvements in sheep, cattle and horses, but contributed to general knowledge of artificial selection.[1]
