+Human Caused factors
- intensive cultivation practices
- mono cropping of industrial agriculture
ex. when we tilt and turn over a filed for the next season crops the topsoil is decimated,
tillage aerates the soil by breaking up its composition, but in the process, it compacts the soil underneath and kills the wealth of microorganisms hidden in naked eye
- as a result the topsoil lives void of life then needs to be injected with nutrient filled fertilizer and chemicals which in turn alter the chemical make up of soil and make it harder for essential organisms to survive
`cultivating the soil always results in the decline of its fertility and health
` the continual use of intensive cultivation over the last century has left the world with a looming soil crisis
`Why is degraded top soil matter and how does it affect the people?
