One third of the world’s soil already has been damaged by water and wind erosion, deforestation, compaction, nutrient depletion,

and pollution. By our own actions we are losing soil faster than nature can create it, and as population keeps growing we also pave over some of the most productive farmland for urban areas. The United Nations says that unless we protect the remaining soil and improve land use and conservation practices, the global amount of arable and productive land per person in 2050 will be only a quarter of what it was in 1960. –"Do we treat our soil like dirt?" Dennis Dimick According to the article, why is good soil being lost? Soil is being damaged faster than nature can replace it. Farmland is spreading into urban areas. Deforestation is causing forest to become desert. Growth in the 1960s damaged farmland beyond repair.
