Monoculture farming, growing a single crop, leads to severe issues like soil degradation and nutrient depletion, increasing reliance on chemical fertilizers, and fosters pest/disease outbreaks due to lack of biodiversity, necessitating more pesticides that pollute water and harm pollinators. It also reduces biodiversity, destroys habitats, risks massive crop failure, and creates economic vulnerability for farmers, creating unsustainable systems with high chemical inputs and ecological imbalance.

Monocropping is hurting your farm, and a 2-year rotation isn’t enough. That’s why we follow a 5-year crop rotation to keep our farm productive at scale. 💬 Comment “crop rotation” if you’d like to see how we plan ours on the farm! #sustainablefarming #organicfarm #croprotation #soilhealth #farmtok | LoginEKO
