Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The proliferation of plantations for cash crops often led to the replacement of locally grown foodstuffs and the usurpation of local infrastructure for commercial purposes. This could have negative consequences for the health and well-being of the local peasantry, but there is no evidence to suggest that it boosted their well-being. Similarly, there is no clear evidence that the proliferation of plantations led to increased political inclusion for local peoples.
