The ecological consequence of monoculture agriculture is a reduction in biodiversity and increased vulnerability to pests and diseases. By cultivating a single crop variety over extensive areas, farmers unintentionally create a less resilient ecosystem that lacks natural checks and balances. Monocultures can deplete soil nutrients and disrupt local microbial communities, resulting in the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which further harm the surrounding environment. Additionally, such practices often lead to habitat loss and the decline of local flora and fauna, ultimately threatening the overall health of the agricultural ecosystem.
