| Video Discription | Many of the fruits and vegetables — and even the palm oil used in many ultra-processed foods — are produced in large expanses of monocultures. 2 The use of this agricultural technique has expanded because it’s thought to be very efficient. But we now know that it can gravely affect biodiversity and soil richness. Are there alternatives? Yes. Sustainable agriculture, or agroecology, employs methods that keep the land productive for longer, regenerating the soil instead of degrading it. Agroecology is a system that Indigenous communities have used for centuries in some regions. Other benefits of this system include efficient water use and the reuse of waste. ------ Mongabay is a nonprofit environmental science and conservation news platform that produces original reporting in English, Indonesian, Spanish, French, Hindi, and Brazilian Portuguese.
