Primes

• Variation Strategies
  • Intercropping (growing multiple species in proximity) increases the variety of plant-soil-pest interactions, often reducing the need for external inputs, a synthesis Altieri (1999) developed in framing biodiversity as a functional design principle in sustainable agroecosystems.

    This sourceSynthesizes the empirical case that crop diversity, rotation, and polyculture function as variation strategies for pest suppression, soil health, and yield stability in sustainable agriculture.
