Agriculturalists are more vulnerable to environmental changes than are horticulturalists.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Agriculturalists rely heavily on large-scale monoculture and intensive land use practices that lead to soil depletion, water scarcity, and biodiversity loss. These practices make them more dependent on climate stability, and any changes in weather patterns, pests and diseases will have more severe impacts on their crops, livelihoods, and food security than on horticulturalists who rely on diverse and small-scale farming systems that are more resilient and adaptable to environmental changes.
