Monoculture and its impact on the Environment
Growing a single crop species over a large area or farm is called intensive farming or monoculture. Earlier practices of mixed cropping caused problems in crop management, like harvesting, etc. Uniformity in plant height adds beauty to our fields and makes the application of agrochemicals easy. It also saves time and energy in segregating grains in threshing.
Modern Agriculture and its impact on the Environment
More than half of the population of the world comprises farmers. These farmers know that maintenance and conservation of natural resources are very important to sustain their livelihoods. However, the demand of more and more food due to exploding population and higher expectations for comfort and wealth forces these farmers to exploit more and more of the natural resources through the application of modern technology.

Positive and Negative Interdependence among Organisms in Ecosystems
Interdependence between two species through which individuals of either one or both species benefit is called positive interdependence. The benefits to the individual of any species through this relationship may be continuous or transitory, obligate or facultative. Both partners in this type of relationship may be in close contact; one may be inside some specific area or attached to the surface of the other’s body. Positive interdependence is divided into three major types: mutualism, Commensalism, and proto-cooperation.
