Answer options
Key Idea
Compost returns decomposed organic matter to soil, improving structure and nutrient cycling.
Question 3
What links long-term farm profitability with reducing harm to soil and water?
Answer options
Key Idea
Sustainability pays by building soil organic matter with cover crops and reduced tillage, which boosts water-holding capacity, cuts runoff, and makes yields more stable in bad weather.
Question 4
What often increases when several crop species can survive the same stress, such as heat?
Answer options
Key Idea
When you grow stress-tolerant crop mixes, one species can keep producing while another falters, stabilizing food and income and often reducing the need for emergency inputs like irrigation.
Question 5
Biodiversity includes genetic diversity within a crop, such as different rice varieties in the same region.
Answer options
Key Idea
In agroecology, conserving multiple local landraces can buffer shocks because different genotypes vary in drought tolerance and pathogen resistance, stabilizing yields across years and microclimates.
