Why does the Bible speak against wearing clothing made of different types of fabric and mixing seed in the vineyard?
Monocropping depletes the soil nutrients and exposes the crop to pests and diseases, which can be very devastating. Maintaining large fields of moncrop requires intensive used of chemicals. We have seen stories from South America how such kind of farming can be devastating.
On the other hand, there is documentation about the benefits of intercropping - the pumpkin can be planted together with the corn and beans for a mutually beneficial and balanced produce over a long period of time organically.
Are we supposed to take these bible verses at the face value or there is something deeper we should understand?
On breeding, I can understand that the resultant offspring may turn out with undesirable characteristics (cue sterile mules). Mixed fabric clothes have been developed to give some amazing qualities of function - active wear and PPEs, enhancing the quality of life of the wearer and enabling humanity to explore hitherto unimaginable heights (deep sea diving, fire safety, space exploration, etc).
