If good farming technics are employed topsoil can be retained and improved by converting agricultural waste into compose manure but we instead loss top soils to erosion we need to prevent topsoil from getting lost on the process which is possible and has been possible

The latest magical thinking here in NZ is that we’ll make carbon go into the soil (spoiler: in reality it mostly doesn’t and a fair bit seems to be coming *out* of the soil). I wonder how the loss of the topsoil the Carbon is supposed to go into will get magicked away. 🤔

In Australia farmers leave last years stubble in place, plant the next crop in the trash of the previous years crop. Soil never exposed to wind etc.

And this precious soul is getting polluted, less fertile and diseases prone threatening the food security of millions of people

Where to find the supporting publication to this statement on about 60 harvests left? "Loss of topsoil in about 60 years, according to Maria-Helena Semedo of the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization."
