Food security movements oppose displacement from land into vulnerable cash economies

Evidence

Likewise, in the movements for democratic food security, criticism is leveled at systems and processes that deprive people of their land-based livelihood while enriching others, particularly large corporations based in the north. Again, there is a link between economic, social, and environmental inequity; groups claim that people are driven from traditional farming techniques that sustained individuals, communities, and the land and into wage-based work and a cash economy, where the poor cannot afford to buy food or water. — David Schlosberg, Defining Environmental Justice, 288
