Answer 3

mother nature knows best.... we always do well to copy her.

by encouraging more complex ecosystems or 'guilds' instead of a fragile monoculture, we get more production, every slot used and plants and animals (and fungi!) that support each other, and more redundancy and therefore more resilience.

and once established, its low maintenance! thats what got me into it, laziness....
