I thought farming was all about reducing bio-diversity? If you want to grow wheat you try and maximise the amount of wheat and reduce the amount of weeds. A farmer who tried to increase the number and variety of weeds grown would reduce the wheat crop.

They're saying the nitrogen is leaking out and causing less plant biodiversity in the area around the farms, which is supposedly a big problem.
