It depends on the context, including factors like what ecosystems the crops are replacing, the crop management system adopted (incl. the sustainability, productivity and longevity of the new cropping system) and who benefits (e.g. local communities or just multinational companies). So the question you are asking is huge and the answer could be the subject of an entire book or more! Hi Delia – It’s too simplistic to say that cash crops are ‘good’ or ‘bad’.
