Question

1. which method promotes sustainable land use by integrating various ecosystems?

a. agroforestry combining trees and crops
b. monoculture of single crop fields
c. urban farming in small plots
d. soil depletion from overuse

Explanation:

To determine the method promoting sustainable land use via ecosystem integration:

• Option a: Agroforestry combines trees (forest ecosystem) and crops (agricultural ecosystem), integrating different ecosystems for sustainability.
• Option b: Monoculture (single crop) lacks ecosystem integration and harms sustainability.
• Option c: Urban farming in small plots focuses on urban agriculture, not ecosystem integration.
• Option d: Soil depletion is unsustainable, not a promoting method.

Only agroforestry (a) integrates ecosystems for sustainable land use.

Answer:

a. Agroforestry combining trees and crops
