we can only use the biological configurations of carbon
You cannot 'destroy' its configuration unless you bombard it in a lab
This is basic science stuff
Only radioactive elements get their configurations destroyed by emitting nucleons
carbon isn't the nutrient we are primarily losing out on
it's mostly everything else
Name everything else
Give me an exhaustive list of what exactly we are losing out on
They are all simple elements
all the nutrients
we don't actually know exhaustively how plants make use of each and every nutrient
Omg we do
we just know that they store them
Bruh I just told you
Since like the 70s
and we need them in our bodies
Its better to grow them without soil
plants we grow suck up these nutrients through various mechanisms
and those nutrients aren't properly returned to the soil
Bruh
I can't even
when you harvest a crop, the crop is taking the nutrients in the soil with it
not all
but over time it gets quite a lot of the nutrients
to where the soil becomes unsuitable to grow anything on
A plant nutrient is not a human nutrient

There's no such universal thing as a nutrient
I mean one thing Pelth isn’t considering is that there’s a multiplicity number of farming methods which can be used to affect nutrient loss as a result of soil erosion. Yes if you have soul erosion in your farm and you do nothing, you’re going to have poor crop yields, but there are nutrient management practices farmers and agricultural scientist have developed to respond to soil erosion. You can literally put more nutrients into the soil, add nutrients to the water, or practice something like terracing your halve the effects of soil erosion.
Soil erosion isn’t an existential threat to our crop yields, or to nutrient availability
there are no sustainable farming techniques that can feed over 7 billion people
Soil erosion is only a threat to ecological diversity
Typical right wing thinking "The planet is burning, so let me set fire to the forests"
they set fire to the forests to return some nutrients to the soil
that is the core principle of slash and burn
LOL
@Pelth We literally have high enough crop yields and food production to feed around 10 billion people right now
Omg bruh you trolling
The problem is distribution not production.
