    greaaaat, apparently Monokultur (german for raising the same crop for multiple years) is not the same as Monoculture (english for raising one crop per season) maybe that’s why there is this confusion?

    This from the Phytomemeology Facebook page where the mod has some firm views on what they define as monoculture. As far as I’ve researched. Monoculture just means a single species crop, and does not reference a time frame at all. This meme is based off of the comment argument they got into

    Hum…

    Monoculture is either the same crop on a field every time, or the same crop is a very large area. A single crop in a field for one season only is crop rotation, something that is absolutely not monoculture.

    And it is inherently something bad, that’s how the word is defined, if it’s not extensive enough to be harmful, it doesn’t get that name. It may be “not very bad” and normal, but it’s bad.
