Darwinian Agriculture

Darwinian Agriculture applies evolutionary principles to farming by selecting and breeding plants and animals that naturally thrive in specific environments. Instead of relying heavily on chemicals and synthetic inputs, it focuses on understanding how organisms interact with their surroundings and each other. Farmers work with natural processes—like pest predators or plant resilience— to create sustainable and productive systems. This approach aims to enhance crop yields, reduce reliance on artificial inputs, and improve resilience to pests and climate change by leveraging the natural adaptations and relationships found in ecosystems.
