75% of the world's land is degraded

For future reference...

i often wondered why people have no problem practicing animal husbandry, until it's time to apply it to ourselves. what happens when you have a big jump in the rabbit population? they eat all the available food, and the excess rabbits die off, as well as some that weren't excess. then they slowly start to rebuild their population. same thing with deer. they also become more susceptible to diseases because most of them are malnourished.
we won't change, we'll never believe it can happen to us, i mean this isn't the hunger games, is it?
well, it's about to be.
population will drop when nature takes a hand. that will solve the problem for a while, till the survivors, and their offspring, forget the lesson and do it again.

NC hog farms win legal protections; Senate overrides Cooper’s veto

The new law limits the amount of money people can collect in lawsuits against hog farms for odors, headaches, flies and other aggravations. Critics have said the law limits financial recovery to the point that such lawsuits are not likely to be filed in the future.

so your only alternative now is to either move, or, kill every single pig on the fucking farm, and a few of the fucking farmers?...hmmm...choices.....

Humans have a great capacity for rationalizing their behavior.

Our complexity is both a blessing and a curse. Like a hot, but psycho girlfriend.

There is only a handful of politicians willing to lower clean air and water for the benefit of corp growth overseas, they happen to be in power.

Remember, "It's important we do the human thing and help china out of poverty." (Nixon,1971)

China has almost wiped out urban poverty. Now it must tackle ...

10 more years China will step in and insist the pollution stop. They will be seen as environmental hero's. jmo

That's why we use fertiliser, you moron.

The soil in most agricultural cases is just a nutrient retaining suspension medium.

that is NOT the way its been until recently. if you look back more than 50-75 years, fertilizer use wasn't nearly as prevalent. proper land management was the rule. rotating crops and leaving fields fallow to allow them time to recover between crops was the practice, and a lot better practice it was. it sustained itself for several thousand years. less than 100 years of "modern farming" has just about fucked us all.

You can hardly compare the scale between then and now.

Rotation isn't enough to compensate for the incredibly high rate of nutrient depletion.

Hence why fertiliser use is necessary, the fact it's necessary is fairly self evident and not even worthy of discussion.

We'll have 9 bill people on the planet by 2100, so it's only going to get worse too.
 
maybe we will, and maybe we won't...wonder if cannibalism will remain prevalent in the new society that rises from our ashes, or will it die out in a few generations, when the animal population rebounds?

We are better than nature; we'll have wars to kill off the excess without waiting for mother nature.
