crop diversification
Crop diversification refers to the practice of growing a variety of different crops in the same agricultural area or rotation, as opposed to relying solely on one or a few crops. It aims to reduce the risks associated with monoculture (growing only one crop) by promoting greater resilience to pests, diseases, and changing environmental conditions, while also improving soil health and biodiversity.
