Answer 2

Answer:

monoculture

Explanation:

Monoculture is the agricultural practice of producing or growing a single crop, plant, or livestock species, variety, or breed in a field or farming system at a time. Polyculture, where more than one crop is grown in the same space at the same time, is the alternative to monoculture.[1] Monoculture, widely used both in industrial farming and in organic farming, has allowed increased efficiency in planting and harvesting while simultaneously increasing the risk of exposure to diseases or pests. This is a cheap way of duplicating produce.

Continuous monoculture, or monocropping, where agriculturalists raise the same species year after year,[2] can lead to the quicker buildup of pests and diseases, and then their rapid spread where a uniform crop is susceptible to a pathogen. Monocultures of perennials, such as African palm oil,[3] sugar cane,[4] and pines,[5] can lead to environmental problems. Diversity can be added both in time, as with a crop rotation or sequence, or in space, with a polyculture.

The term "oligoculture" has been used to describe a crop rotation of just a few crops, as practiced in several regions of the world.[6]

The concept of monoculture can also extend to (for example) discussions of variety in urban landscapes.[7]
