What is Doomer? :(
It is a nebulous thing that may include but is not limited to Climate Change posts or Collapse posts.
Include sources when applicable for doomer posts, consider checking out !bloomer@www.hexbear.net once in awhile.

I know this is the doomer sub but soil "productivity" isn't a permanent problem, it's an economic one and a sign of a system under stress.
Soil health can be restored, but it's easier and cheaper for farmers to declare soil "unproductive" (to project capitalistic language onto a natural process) than to take the action to restore it.
Bookchin was cooking so hard when he helped invent the concept of dialectical naturalism because this is a perfect example of it in action, but also a perfect example of how we still have autonomy to repair our food chain.
Yes! Leaving the land fallow and doing erosion control can do this. Nitrogen can be fixed by planting legumes and phosphorous can come from biosolids (either animal or human )
