The policy you are referring to is known as "monoculture." This agricultural practice involves focusing on the cultivation of a single crop in a given area, which was implemented by the Soviet Union in Kazakhstan to enhance cotton production. Monoculture can lead to increased efficiency and output for that particular crop, but it can also result in ecological imbalances and dependency on that single crop.
Which of the following terms describes the policy put in place by the Soviet Union to increase the output of cotton in Kazakhstan by focusing on one crop?
