    MONOCULTURE
    - One species of land cover or crop for a year or more.
    - no diversity results in unbalanced ecosystem
    - tends to gain higher harvest and cheaper cost of
    production but enhances environmental damage and spread of
    diseases in the long run.
    MONOCROPPING
    - single crop specie in a single
    parcel of land for one growing
    season/cropping only.
    Annual Monoculture – single crop
    specie (annual: 1 growing season)
    grown in a single parcel of land for 1 year
    or more. E.g. rice-rice, corn-corn, etc.

    SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE
    - an integrated system of plant and animal production
    having site specific applications that will, over the long term:
     Satisfy human food and fiber needs;
     Enhance environmental quality and natural resource base
    upon which the agricultural economy depends;
     Make the most efficient use of non-renewable resources and
    on-farm resources and integrate, where appropriate, natural
    biological cycles and controls;
     Sustain the economic viability of farm operations, and
     Enhance the quality of life for farmers and society as a whole.
