Well how are you addressing it?
Are you saying that the world is doomed? You NEED me to personally design a solution for you?
Will you pay me? Free food for what I help engineer so the rest of you can eat too?
>How do we address the overfarming of soil, depletion of nutrients, and the declining supply of potash?
Plow leftists under the soil to enrich the soil and eliminate their carbon footprint?
Doesn't eliminate it, homosexual.
>Doesn't eliminate it, homosexual.
Worth a try. Leftists are not human anyway, but just walking carbon credits.
You have got my vote. I volunteer to to help with the plowing.
Collect all feces and urine for composting and spread out onto land to be ploughed in, along with the leftists.
Yeah? Where's that? Most western countries simply pump it out to sea after letting it sit for a while. Btw shitting in designated streets doesn't count.
>I volunteer to to help with the plowing.
I shall help with the planting!
Drastic population reductions. Humans don't have a built in mechanism to reduce their population, so we'll end up with a food crisis and half the world starves.
We have tons of those, you just hate thinking about them because you don't like the idea of getting included like that.
Keep digging up more minerals and fossils. Most of them were organisms once on the surface, living in hotter climates and more atmospheric CO2.
Naturally this is done by earth crust movements and volcanic activities.
War, disease, crime, famine and genocide. All are suppressed.
>Drastic population reductions.
Agreed, it's the only solution, and it's only fair that whites are the ones who are eliminated.
Survive while everyone else dies out. Nothing about today is sustainable.
Look into ecological sanitation. Basically we need to close the nutrient loops as much as possible to conserve resources without spreading disease.
Hey maybe we could try composting
>Hey maybe we could try composting
There's big money in landfills and sanitation/garbage services.
I don't know if you know who runs those businesses, but I assure you, it isn't the Boy Scouts.
The western way is to take something that used to be free and spin it into something wasteful that you pay for. Even if its trucked away to huge aerator tanks of water, It's still better than landfilling it for multiple reasons
If you have any of your own land at all then I'd recommend having a compost and growing some of your own food. To put it in a way youll understand, growing your own food is the least cucked thing you can do; it's totally based.
>If you have any of your own land at all then I'd recommend having a compost and growing some of your own food.
This.
But Democrats are trying to ban that everywhere also with HOA rules, EPA laws, etc!
Convenient.
Just do one crop of lentils every 10 years and your soil will be fine
>Resting and replenishing the soil.
You are right but I dont think most people understand how badly leveraged most farming enterprises are. They have to make the most from their land every single year without fail otherwise they dont make enough to pay their bank loans. The margins are simply that fine. Most farming is an economic monster created from a house of ponzi cards. Everyone who is aware of this just hopes its not going to come down in their lifetime.

Word salad
Gee, it must suck to be so moronic that simple colloquial English is word salad to you. Tell us, in what third world shithole did you get your education? And does it have electricity and piped water yet?
You wrote a word salad. A meaninglessness string of words with no meaning
>OMG FARMING IS COMPLEX MONEY AND SHIT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND
understand what homosexual? You are not saying anything
You stupid frickwit. The meaning is quite obvious. But since you lack basic education and intelligence the implications are lost on you. Now go and have a shit on the street while standing in the excrement left by your neighbors.
What is obvious is that you are trying to larp as some wise learned man by being spooky and cryptic while not saying anything at all.
>OMG THINGS ARE FRICKED HOW CANT YOU SEE
Thats all you said and now you are mad because you are being called on your bullshit.
Quite the opposite you third world subwit. Your lack of English skills is apparent. The only person being mad here is you, frightened by your own ignorance. Now have a little cry.
Its clear you are mad because you domt even attempt to defend your abhorrent posts. Accusing me isnt making your case.
Quite simply, you dont know shit about farming
Funny, I understood just fine.
Less people.
Filter needed things from ocean water
All biological waste must be recycled.
Or you can use seafood, you know.
It makes perfect sense. Modern economy fetishizes "efficiency" at the cost of sustainability. In agriculturally this is worsened by the American made farming which is an absurdity made up by dilettantes who just had no idea how to farm.
I'm pretty sure it was to rotate crops that fix air nitrogen wuth crops that depend on soil nitrogen.
>I'm pretty sure it was to rotate crops that fix air nitrogen
Alfalfa does fix nitrogen, but nitrogen fixation is not the only purpose of crop rotation. If you only rotated through a single crop and a nitrogen fixer than the nutrients in your soil would become unbalanced and plant growth would be affected. Many people do that anyways and amend the soil periodically based on soil tests.
>worsened by the American made farming which is an absurdity made up by dilettantes who just had no idea how to farm
Once again you are not saying anything. Explain exactly what the problems are instead of whining out "things are bad everyone is stupid me smart"
I will make this simple so even a halfwit dolt like you can understand.
YOU. ARE. AN. IDIOTIC. CHILD.
Now shut the frick up and let the adults talk.
Your continuous insults only prove you have nothing to say. You dont know anything about farming
I understand the other anons perfectly well and they make perfect sense. Its only you that has a problem. You come across as an ignorant and attention seeking child. Which is probably what you are.
>overfarming
Not a real thing
>Declining supply of potash
Not a real concern, unlike the supply of phosphate
>Nutrients

No till farming
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-till_farming
Look up gabe brown on YouTube. Transition to 0 pesticide used, 0 fertiliser use, polyculture, cover crops, no bare soil. There are methods for restoring even the most damaged soils without using chemicals. Not to say fertilisers and pesticides have no use, but they should be used in a targeted fashion or not at all.
night soil
homie, we busy talking about TRANNIES USING THE WRONG BATHROOM, we've got no TIME for that!
by eradication of 90% of population
By rotating crops the same way we have for thousands of years.
How is rotating crops going to increase potassium or phosphorus in the soil?
Certain deep rooted plants like alfalfa can bring up nutrients from deeper in the soil profile, but the main purpose of crop rotation is to prevent the depletion of certain nutrients over others. For example, corn needs more nitrogen than squash or melons, which benefit more from phosphorus and calcium.
>but the main purpose of crop rotation is to prevent the depletion of certain nutrients over others.
Stop writing in riddles. I specifically asked about phosphorus and potassium. How is crop rotation going to solve a scarcity of potassium or phosphorus in the soil?
>thinking that sentence is a riddle
Holy shit if you don't understand how crop rotation works after that clear cut example then you might be moronic.
>be you
>farmer anon
>plant crops that have deep reaching root systems
>plants draw up minerals
>harvest top bit of plant
>leave roots in ground
>roots rot and leave new minerals in ground
>plant next batch of crops
>repeat ad infinitum
>plants draw up minerals
next batch of crops
ad infinitum
I dont think you know what ad infinitum means. You are mining the soil of phosphorus and potassium, its not going to self regenerate just because its good for narrative
Yes it will, that's how crop rotation works, you plant crops that are able to reach lower layers of soil and roots decaying leaves new minerals in the top soil. Add in that different crops use different minerals more heavily and the fact that water and snow run off carry minerals back into fields and voila you have infinite crops until the heat death of the universe. The only tricky thing is not overdoing it and exceeding soil rejuvenation but we can fix that by using minorities as fertilizer.
>water and snow run off carry minerals back into fields a
moron its literally the opposite. Runnoff washes field. Your entire theory depends on magic and breaking the laws of physics. Once you mine out the phosphorus from the souil it just runs out, theres nothing more. It doesnt matter how "balanced" is your extraction, theres simply nothing left to pull out.
top bit of plant
roots in ground
Corn, rice and wheat dies after you pick up the grain. They are not perennials, they require continuous replanting from new seed.
Yes thats the point. The roots staying in the ground and rotting helps replenish soil minerals. I never said they stay alive
>rotting helps replenish soil minerals
Rotting doesnt create potassium nor phosphorus
It does when the nutrients have been transported from a layer in the soil profile that's unavailable to most crops. Learn to read, moron.
>phosphorus
comes from dead bodies and bones. import that from China, or else use leftists as has been suggested by anons.
There's little that can be done at current population numbers, 8 billion is simply unsustainable. So either the numbers fall, or we continue to pollute and overuse the soil until ecological collapse and the problem fixes itself one way or another.
The numbers will not fall. Best case is they will plateau. Because no one will tell the big breeders to stop breeding up large.
Therefore ecological collapse is inevitable.
In the process humans will mange to wipe out another few million species and totally eradicate a variety of habitats. The only silver lining in all this is that the insane enablers of this situation will also surely perish in great numbers. For any surviving human society it should become a civic duty to ensure any surviving enablers are exterminated. Otherwise their pathological ideology will persist to afflict any new civilization which might arise.
I am doing my bit for planet Earth. During the day I urinate into a jug. At night I splash this out onto a different part of the lawn or garden.
Urinating into a toilet or urinal is now abhorrent to me. Its such a waste of good nutrients.
