Comment on I watched several videos on a Combine Harvester's inner workings and I still don't understand how this thing works.

Crop rotation is a great thing but still falls within monoculture. Planting a field with only one type of thing is the definition of monoculture.

I seriously believe that cover cropping, intercropping, and examples like MonkderViete posted are the way forward - they result in higher crop yield per square foot and are more resilient in the face of climate change and pest pressure.

You should learn about the benefits of no till market gardens - they are real and they work.

Covercrop is still monoculture, monoculture isn’t inherently bad. Ultimately it comes down to cost. Labor is limited and a lot of the stuff you’re talking about are fine for small volume vegetables but you’re not gonna get feed the world wheat yields from that.

  You’re tilting against the wind. It seems people that know nothing about farming are the ones that have the strongest opinions about farming and food.
