There is a way of farming that regenerates rather than depletes the land. It is possible to do without the commercial fertilisers, herbicides, and pesticides, but then that wouldn't make money for Big Ag and the promoters of GMO's, so it is not exactly mainstream news. And animal husbandry is a necessary part of the whole. Bad news for wannabe insect farmers and producers of synthetic meat.
Even if we carry on using chemical feetilisers doing so slowly removes goodness from the soil, unless we at least bury the dead in fields or redirect sewage there (ew).
