Question

Which one of the following does not follow monoculture?

• A. Plantation agriculture
• B. Mixed farming
• C. Dairy farming
• D. Commercial grain farming

Hint:

Mixed farming = crops + livestock, not a single-product system.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Mixed farming integrates crop growing and animal rearing within the same farm, creating a balanced agricultural system. This method improves soil fertility, reduces dependency on one product, and provides stable income. Plantation farming focuses on one major crop like tea or rubber, dairy farming specializes in milk production, and commercial grain farming grows one cereal crop on a large scale. These systems rely on a single output and are classic examples of monoculture. Mixed farming is the only method that resists monoculture by diversifying production.
