'''Diversity''' refers to  [[race|racial]], [[religion|religious]], [[culture|cultural]], and other "diversity" being increasingly promoted within a single [[society]]. Racial diversity is the blending of many [[ethnicity|ethnic]] backgrounds, and is used to justify the practice of [[affirmative action]].  "Diversity" is also used as an excuse for the promotion or toleration of abnormal [[sexuality|sexual]] practices, and for the redefinition of [[marriage]] away from the traditional definition of one man, one woman.  "Diversity hiring" is a currently fashionable [[business]] [[buzzword]].

In [[permaculture]] [[gardening]]-[[farming]], there is the core concept of [[polyculture]] - a technique of agricultural diversity or ecodiversity. Polyculture is [[agriculture]] using multiple crops and/or animals in the same space. This is done as an imitation of the [[biodiversity]] of natural [[ecosystem]]s. In nature large stands of single crops, known as [[monoculture]] rarely exist. [[intercropping|Intercropping]] and [[companion planting]] are like "polyculture lite". They use 2 or 3 plants planted together while polyculture can use up to 10 or 20 plants in the same area. Polyculture is not limited to just plants. It can be used to describe systems using multiple animals as well. [[Joel Salatin]] of PolyFace Farms use a [[rotational grazing]] systems of [[cow]]s, [[chicken]]s, [[pig]]s, and [[rabbit]]s in a polyculture. <ref>[[Paul Wheaton|Wheaton, Paul]], "[http://www.makeitmissoula.com/2012/08/paul-wheaton-talks-polyculture Paul Wheaton on Polycure]", [[American Redoubt]], [[Montana]]: Make It Missoula.
