The Non-Sustainability of Monocultures &From Bio-imperialism to Bio-democracy

The Non-Sustainability of Monocultures

Monocultures
• Monocultures dominate and will eventually strangle themselves
• ‘scientific forestry is harmful• Undermines diversity and local knowledge
• ‘Sustainable’ yields are harmful• Create uniformity and collapse• Focused on economics of a forest
• Normal forests have become abnormal

Natural Processes
• Uniform forests are harmful to natures processes• Drying of soil, erosion of the soil and rapid regressions

Selective Cutting
• Selective cutting sounds like a good idea. • Logging operations must also build infrastructure which
destroys forests.• In some logged forests only 33% of the trees remain
unharmed.• Sustainable yields are in direct conflict with biological
productivity• Forests afforestation rates have dropped 40%

Eucalyptus
• They are exclusively planted – Corn of trees• Increased cash flow• Deplete natural ecosystems• Local cultures revolt• Peasants pulled millions of eucalyptus seedlings and
replanted tamarind and mango seeds

Agricultural Globalism
• Native crops are well adapted• New pests do not come in with the plants• New superbugs/weeds• High yield require lots of water.• Inputs are sold like NPK

Democratizing Knowledge
• Shifting away from economics would help humans• Inconsistent with equity and justice• Reduces/minimizes the value of traditional knowledge• Disregards nature

From Bio-imperialism to Bio-democracy
![Page 10: By: Martin Matthew Zais](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816352550346895dd3f313/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Ecology, equity and efficiency
• What bio-imperialism leads to 1.) ecological instability 2.) external control 3.) efficiency in one dimensional framework
• Need to change monetary and harmful policies. Change will start at the large scale
• Need to shift incentives from economic to democracy

Who controls biodiversity?
• Gene rich Global South has given away biodiversity only to have it sold back to themselves.
• Genes/property vs coevolution/relationships• Bio democracy acknowledges the intrinsic value of all
life forms. • Need to protect property rights
