#Ecological #restoration #projects, attempt to undo the damage of #climatedisasters, #pollution, and unchecked #humandevelopment. But securing #seeds for the #plants that are #native to particular regions — that have #adapted to #local #soils and #climate conditions over many years — has become a surprisingly challenging hurdle to overcome.

Uh-o.. Living in #Ireland, I know this isn't a good sign 🥔

If #farming grows a #monocrop (only 1 type of crop grown, not many biodiverse varieties) it can fail easily in #weather &/or #ClimateChange ~ then people aren't provided for.

Did they give reasons?

一種類の作物しか栽培せず、生物多様性がないため、人々の期待を裏切る可能性がある。何か理由があったのでしょうか?
日本語で「monocrop」は何と言うのでしょうか?「単作」?
いつものように、私の日本語をお許しください 🙇🏽‍♀️
