cultural cleansing


Explanation:




Cultural genocide or cultural cleansing is a concept that lawyer Raphael Lemkin distinguished in 1944 as a component of genocide. The term was considered in the 2007 United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and juxtaposed next to the term "ethnocide," but it was removed in the final document, and simply replaced with "genocide." The precise definition of "cultural genocide" remains unclear. Some ethnologists, such as Robert Jaulin, use the term "ethnocide" as a substitute for "cultural genocide",[1] although this usage has been criticized as engendering a risk of confusing ethnicity with culture.

Heather, o texto não me parece ter qualquer relação com "crop management". Fala da população humana.
