'Balanced' Ecosystems Seen In Organic Ag Better At Controlling Pests

There really is a balance of nature, but as accepted as that thought is,
it has rarely been studied. Now Washington State University researchers
writing in the journal Nature have found that more balanced animal and
plant communities
typical of organic farms work better at fighting pests and growing a
better plant."

This obviously means less monocropping and more polyculture and diverse integrated farming operations with scaled up permaculture systems to meet the needs of the farm site and the cropland. This is the future of farming.
