“The Flourishing Principle” with Rev. Vicky Hanjian

“The Flourishing Principle” with Rev. Vicky Hanjian
One definition of monoculture is the agricultural practice of growing a single crop species over a large area. This offers high yields and operational simplicity. But it also presents severe long term drawbacks. It strips soil of specific nutrients, dramatically increases vulnerability to destructive pest outbreaks and destroys local biodiversity. Vast tracts of uniform vegetation offer little to no habitat or food for native wildlife, beneficial insects, or pollinators. This disrupts natural ecosystem services like natural pest control and pollination.
Tapping into a couple of ancient stories, this week’s sermon will explore the risks of “monoculture” in the human experiment.
