No - Fields are biodiversity deserts, and farmers want it like this. They look pretty and look like nature, but could as well be sand
You sure think you know a lot behind your keyboard. You should really go outside more often, because you are absolutely incorrect.
Sounds like you think you know even more though?

I live in the country, surrounded by farms and timber property. There is life fucking everywhere. I'll bet you live in a concrete hell and have never been outside of the city.
Lol, look at this guy. Even the 'forested' area around him is a monoculture that looks nothing like real woods. Mate, many of us here on lemmy live or have lived in areas like you describe, or in or near areas that are actual nature. Hell, I'm sure there are plenty like me, who have actually worked in those fields. Unless you're on a rare farm co-op that really cares about biodiversity and promoting 'natural' ways of the ecosystem you're living in, you're basically experiencing the equivalent of this but for a crop field.
My forested area contains all the biodiversity the southeastern united states has to offer. I get a tax break for keeping it that way. You seem to be confused however that every piece of land everywhere is being used for something and that's just flatly incorrect. Maybe it is where you're at, but not here. When I say surrounded I mean within some miles. I'm an hour from town, there's lots between here and there.
I live right next to two fields and in a village with 30 houses, surrounded by fields.
You just prove the point
