polyculture

noun polycultures

1. countable, uncountable The planting of two or more crops in the same place.
2. countable, uncommon, uncountable A multiculture; a polycultural society, sometimes especially one in which multiple cultures exist without one dominating. What we have here is not a 'multiculture' as it is represented in multiculturalism, not a pluralist order of discrete patches of culture, all somehow, 'equally valid' within the polity, but—to form a Greek/Roman Creole—a polyculture, or at any rate a collection of cultural entities that are not (a)

Opposite: monoculture
