The monoculture farming method is the raising of a single crop within a specified area. Most of the commercial farms in the United States are now in monoculture nature with crops like corn and soy taking top billing. This is in contrast to the traditional technique of farming, which relied on multiple crops being planted within a specific area. Many indoor farms growing medicinal herbs and flowers are measured to be monoculture farms.
Monoculture is the agricultural practice of producing as single crop, single plant or livestock species, variety or breed in a field or farming system at a time. Monoculture farming is widely used in both industrial farming and organic farming and has allowed increased efficiency in planting and harvest.
