Question

A benefit of monoculture farming practices is what?

Answer 1

The main benefits of the monoculture farming are that it has higher production, is more efficient, and has lower costs. All three advantages of the monoculture farming are making it much more attractive for the farmers as it is more profitable and easier for work.

In this type of farming there's no spaces of the arable land that are lost because it is all planted with the same culture, and there isn't any other cultures with which there should be made empty spaces in between.

The costs for farming are lower, and also the work is easier and more efficient because the machinery can be used in the same manner constantly and the work can go on systematically on the farmlands.

On the other hand, we have to mention that there are also negative effects of this type of farming like the total destruction of animal and plant biodiversity in the area where it is practiced, as well as making the entire crop vulnerable to diseases and environmental changes.
