Milpa is tralatitious in Mesoamerica. What I mean by this is that when milpa is planted in Mesoamerica is passed down in the family generations. Mesoamericans try to keep their tradition of planting milpa. In industrial agriculture is not really traditional to pass it down into their families mostly it is done because of the money. Industrial agriculture uses lots of pesticides in order to keep their crops from danger.By using pesticides they wont lose lots of their crops. Milpa agriculture doesnt really affirm on the use of pesticides. Milpa agriculture does have the advantage of losing crops because they dont use pesticides. Thats the reason in milpa agriculture more than one crop is incorporated at the same time they have the other crops to rely on not just on the maize. If industrial agriculture loses all their crops they wont have anything to rely on because they only focus on growing on type of crops.
