how has monoculture led for the biodiversity loss
Answers
BIODIVERSITY on a farm creates an integrated FOOD WEB allowing biota to self-regulate with no pesticides needed. In a MONOCULTURE system, biodiversity struggles to exist. A farmer in California demonstrates to us the dramatic visual line that divides biodiversity and monoculture. Biodiversity in agriculture is a very old concept — one that has allowed for the flourishing of our cultures and societies, for civilization as a whole. Why is this so? Because farms are ecosystems in and of themselves. A healthy ecosystem facilitates biodiversity and is able to maintain itself. Without biodiversity, farms require a huge amount of input to thrive. To help nourish agricultural biodiversity, bio-regionalists act as LOCAL stewards and seed collectors. In a sense, they are deep locavores. They seek out seeds that thrive in their BIOREGION and they work to strengthen local biodiversity by seeding the food system. Integrating wildlife and farmlife is key to the success of a farm.
