According to the article, what are the problems with monoculture farming? Your answer should be written in sentences and not constructed as a list.

Answer

Answer:

Monoculture farming produces crops with little genetic diversity, so the plants are vulnerable to the same diseases and are less able to adapt to environmental changes. As a result, a disease or other threat could cause a total crop loss and potentially put the crop at risk of extinction.
