What are the ways of preventing soil fertility?
Preventing fertility? Not preventing loss of fertility?Use herbicides copiously, especially broad-spectrum and residual ones.Overstock, so as to cause over-grazing.Promote erosion by clearing trees, over-tilling, etc.Withhold fertiliser, or else over-use fertiliser.Burn stubble etc. to prevent the formation of humus.To promote soil fertility, do the reverse.
Explain how no-till farming can save and restore your soil?
No-till farming helps to prevent mineral loss within the soil, stop erosion, and prevent water loss from occurring within the soil. The maintenance of a layer of organic mulch over the soil allows it to break down slowly, releasing nutrients into the soil.
How has modern farmig methods overused the land?
Modern farming methods have resulted in overuse of land through practices such as monocropping, excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and continuous tillage. These practices can lead to soil erosion, depletion of nutrients, loss of biodiversity, and reduced soil fertility over time. It is important for farmers to adopt sustainable farming practices to prevent further degradation of the land.

Should there be more organic farms?
There are many arguments both on the "for" and "against" side of whether their should be more organic farms. The main "for" argument is the "depletion of the environment, overuse of pesticides/fertilizers and loss of natural habitat for wildlife through intensive farming". There is also the "cruelty to animals farmed through intensive farming methods" argument. The main "against" argument is that "it is not possible to feed the world's population through organic farming methods, because organic farming yields much less than conventional farming methods". Personally, I think there is a happy middle-ground to be found. Also, many farms are "organic" in all but name, due to various issues associated with being certified as organic.
