Polyculture
In the garden several different species are planted together in the same bed, according
to their ability to coexist and benefit from each other. This biodiversity is important in
sustaining the health of the intensive vegetable garden and the garden’s ecosystem. Areas
with higher levels of biodiversity are able to adjust to changes in the climate and to
prevent diseases. Polyculture is a more practical and economical way to grow food than
monoculture.
