How did technology encourage farmers to quit farming and move to the city?

Advancements in technology, such as the mechanization of agriculture and the rise of industrial farming practices, significantly increased productivity, allowing fewer farmers to produce more food. This led to a surplus of agricultural labor, making traditional farming less viable for many. As farming became less profitable, individuals sought better economic opportunities in urban areas, where jobs in manufacturing and services were on the rise. Consequently, the allure of higher wages and improved living conditions in cities prompted many farmers to leave their rural roots behind.
