What does intensive farming do to the planet?
die and dry up It causes soil erosion and degradation.
Is our soil depleted of nutrients?
Yes, our soil is depleted of nutrients due to factors such as intensive farming practices, erosion, and lack of proper soil management.
How does intensive farming damages the environment?
It often involves the use of crops which, if not managed properly, can contribute to "mining" of the soil's nutrients, rendering it, over time, as useless if fertilizer is not applied to it regularly, crops are rotated, or some form of organic matter--through adoption of intensive grazing or no-till cropping--is allowed to be incorporated back into the soil to help increase fertility and quality. There are also concerns of how intensive farming expends a lot of greenhouse gases--carbon dioxide and methane--through how animals are farmed intensively, much machinery is used, and how manure is handled. Fertilizer has the potential--and often does--leach from the soil into water ways contaminating water supply.The concern with this question, though, is what the questioner is referring as "intensive farming" to, whether it's CAFO's, or just crops.

Where does intensive farming happen?

How is cotton farming harmful to the earth soil usable?
Cotton farming can be harmful to soil health due to excessive water usage, pesticide and fertilizer runoff leading to soil contamination, and soil erosion due to intensive farming practices. These activities can degrade soil quality, reduce fertility, and harm overall ecosystem balance. Organic and sustainable farming practices can help mitigate these impacts.
Methods of intensive farming?
One way is they use artificial/chemical fertilizers for the soil to encourage the crops to grow faster.
Does cotton help the environment?
Cotton can have environmental benefits when grown using sustainable practices such as organic farming, limited use of pesticides, and water-efficient irrigation methods. However, conventional cotton farming is resource-intensive, relying heavily on pesticides, fertilizers, and water, which can have negative environmental impacts such as water contamination and soil degradation.
Why can labor intensive farming be seen as romantic?
