High-biodiversity farming focuses on cultivating a variety of plants, animals, and beneficial organisms within a single farming system. This approach promotes ecological balance and resilience by mimicking natural ecosystems, allowing for more sustainable and productive agricultural practices. By incorporating diverse species, farmers can reduce the reliance on chemical fertilizers and pesticides, improve soil health, and protect local wildlife. High-biodiversity farms also attract pollinators, which are essential for crop pollination, and help control pests naturally. This farming practice enhances long-term sustainability by creating healthier ecosystems, improving resilience to climate change, and increasing agricultural productivity without harming the environment.
