Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Monoculture is not a characteristic of sustainable agricultural practices because it involves planting only one crop species in a given area, which can lead to soil depletion and increased susceptibility to pests and diseases. Sustainable agriculture promotes crop rotation and increasing biological diversity to maintain soil health and mitigate pest and disease risks.
