Resumo

This lexicon entry explores the concept of monoculture through the lens of tea plantations in India and the complex interplay between ecological simplification and social intensification. Besky argues that monoculture, often framed as a purely ecological phenomenon, is deeply intertwined with social and labor relations. The entry highlights how the pursuit of standardized tea production has led to a narrowing of biodiversity, increased vulnerability to pests and diseases, and a homogenization of labor practices, ultimately impacting the livelihoods and resilience of tea workers.
