2101GIR - Queensland Mono Farming: Politics of Sustainability

This presentation delves into the practice of mono farming in Queensland, Australia, assessing its sustainability and environmental impact. Mono farming, the cultivation of a single crop, is analyzed for its effects on soil fertility, pest infestations, and overall ecosystem health. While it offers benefits like specialized production and yield maximization, it also poses challenges such as soil degradation, increased pesticide use, and reduced biodiversity. The presentation emphasizes the need for sustainable farming practices, including crop rotation, to mitigate the negative impacts and promote a balanced approach to agriculture in Queensland.
