That all depends on how the cash crops are raised. The crops themselves can be raised in a completely sustainable and environmentally-friendly way. But if the farmer chooses to farm in a manner inconsistent with those goals, it can harm the environment in a number of different ways. These might include soil erosion, water pollution, air pollution, even pollution of the farm field itself.
