food from smaller allotments that are planted in mixed crops than you do with
mono cropping but mono cropping is so much easier for the corporations to deal
with. Monocropping is also more "efficient" when there is more
equipment available than human labor. When there is more human labor available
than money to buy equipment, or if efficiency is defined as the greatest total
production of nutrients per acre, it's the other way around. -- Rivka; Finger Lakes NY, Zone 5 mostly Fresh-market organic produce, small scale |
