Due to economies of scale, this statement is incorrect.
Industrialization and urbanization in the 19th and 20th centuries forced many small farmers off their land as larger agricultural operations became more efficient and profitable.

They could not get rural jobs as the large owners used slave labour as cheaper. The Gracchi brothers tried to stop and reverse this and were murdered for it. This was the beginning of a series of events leading to the 'Roman revolution'.
