the practice of growing the same thing in the same field over and over again

In ecology, a monoculture is the practice of growing the same thing in the same field over and over again, tiring out the soil so that lots of artificial inputs are required to make artificial inputs suitable to keep producing crops.

the culture of specific species at a time

growing vast fields of the same crop year after year

Monoculture — growing vast fields of the same crop year after year — is probably the single most powerful simplification of modern agriculture.

a community of computers that all run identical software

a system that compromises biodiversity

According to the Lexicon of food, Monoculture is a system that compromises biodiversity, increasing the population of insects and decreasing the amount of wild animals.

intensively managed system

Usually, monoculture is practiced as a component of an intensively managed system, in which many environmental factors are controlled to optimize growth conditions for the crop.
