This is a point I always make in my writings/presentations on soil fertility: In natural soil systems the world over, there is an increase in fertility *spontaneously* over time, without our intervention. Whereas industrial/chemical/tillage agriculture *degrades* soil fertility. Obvious lesson is to imitate processes at work in the natural systems just as much as possible.

people, ultimately, will be treated as things and that things, ultimately,
will be treated as garbage. ~Wendell Berry
