Tenant farming and sharecropping often lead to cycles of debt and poverty for the farmers involved, as they typically have to pay for land, seeds, and tools while receiving a small share of the crop's profits. This system can create a dependency on landowners, who may exploit the farmers by charging high rents or unfairly distributing crop shares. Additionally, the lack of ownership means that farmers have little incentive to improve the land or invest in sustainable practices, perpetuating economic instability and limiting upward mobility. Overall, these practices can reinforce social inequalities and hinder economic development in agricultural communities.

Both tenant farming and sharecropping were agricultural systems prevalent in the southern United States after the Civil War. Both involved renting land to work and paying a portion of the harvest as a form of payment to the landowner. However, in sharecropping, the tenant typically received a share of the harvest, while in tenant farming, the tenant paid rent in cash or crops.
Sharecropping is a system of agriculture or agricultural production in which a landowner allows a tenant to use the land in return for a share of the crop produced on the land. A tenant farmer is one who resides on and farms land owned by a landlord.
