A farmer in a tropical rain forest climate currently grows tea. The farmer is debating whether to use inter-cropping to grow both rubber and tea. In 3–5 sentences, analyze the costs and benefits of adopting this sustainable farming practice.

It costs more to plant, water, and harvest. It is also more complicated to harvest.
