Why soil erosion cause poverty?

When soil erodes, or abrades, it can wear away and ruin vegetation. If farmers, food producers, or people in third world countries depend on these crops or vegetation for food for themselves, animals, or the market, they no longer have them. Also, if the ground under a house becomes destroyed by erosion, then the land might cave in, causing a family to not have a home.I hope this helped, and for feedback and questions, just start a discussion below.
