Soil Erosion is the process of topsoil being physically carried away by either wind or flood irrigation. That's not what you were talking about when you said the farming system is making soil unusable, current fertilizers kill soil (anathema to any farmer), and take far more water. I'm not even sure how a fertilizer can take water.


Those are completely different issues. I can explain better for you if you like because the Cornell article you're citing is about 30 years out of date and I also don't think you're understanding that out of date data correctly.


Can you explain what you mean by a fertilizer with mono-cultures, and how exactly that is destroying the soil?


It kinda seems like your reading/misinterpreting the scary parts and ignoring the solutions to them, such as your bolded paragraph.
