Document Summary
Increasing non-farm incomes; occupational multiplicity = one person holding multiple jobs = several sources of income. Poverty and hunger becoming delinked from land / agriculture. Delocalised livelihoods; reliance on temporary labour migration, remittances. Modernisation theorists would love this - multiple jobs = people fulfilling their full economic potential + remittances from overseas = global supply chain / commodity chain. But this isn"t a choice; people are forced to find jobs elsewhere because saps make farming unsustainable (later impacts referred to in agriculture world. Wage labour was once the best form of social security; now a plot of land is the best form of social security. Enclosures = commodification of land aka primitive accumulation (created disparity by separating people from fops that they previously had access to) Proletarianism = separation of working people from fops. This was the real deal during the cold war because if farmers in distant 3rd world countries got pissed then they"d fall to communism.
