Resilience in #agroecology
"Diversified agroecological systems are more resilient – they have a greater capacity to recover from disturbances including extreme weather events such as drought, floods or hurricanes; and to resist pest and disease attack. Following Hurricane Mitch in Central America in 1998, biodiverse farms including #agroforestry, #contourfarming and #covercropping retained 20–40 percent more topsoil, suffered less erosion and experienced lower economic losses than neighboring farms practicing conventional #monocultures."
