The western model of development has destroyed with its penetration, economies of subsistence (self-production and consumption) of the countries that we call the Third World, on which those people had lived, and sometimes thrived for centuries and millennia. This forced those farmers to abandon their fields and urbanized in the city. But when the corporation, or whoever it goes away, those people left with the butt on the ground. It can not go back because the abandonment of the country has moved forward the desertification, because the social and solidarity that held together the delicate balance of the rural world no longer exists and in any case they no longer have the know how of what they did before.
But something like this begins to occur even in the so-called developed countries that have prioritized industry, finance, services to the detriment of agriculture. If the grain is scarce only the rich countries can obtain them, but often unaffordable in the long run become for the majority of the populations of these countries. You are about to be fulfilled the prophecy of Taranga Totanka, aka the Indian leader Sitting Bull: "When will the last river poisoned, shot down the last tree, took the last bison, the last fish caught, only then they realize they can not eat money accumulated in their banks.
