farming practice may curtail natural pollination.
OD. Biodiversity in farming yields healthier and
more flavorful food than monocultures, but it is a
more time-consuming farming process.
E. Biodiversity in farming maintains essential
ecosystems that benefit crop yields and contribute
to sustainability.
F. Biodiversity on farms attracts diverse
