Remains at “natural” steady-state level?
—Unlikely.
B.
Drastic drop back down to zero?
—Unlikely.
C.
Substantial drop, but leveling off, then rising again under “natural development”?
—Most likely. Accelerated gain of hundreds of years of soil development (in as little as
6 months or as much as 8 years time with Ecology Action-type cultivation).
Sustainability
The most important element in assessing agricultural
systems is whether or not the yields are sustainable in an
environmentally balanced way. For thousands of years
the Chinese practiced a manual, organic form of
intensive farming using only fertilizers grown or
produced on the farmstead. They were able to feed 1.5
to 2 times more people per acre than the United States
presently does with mechanized chemical or mechanized
organic techniques (assuming similar nonmeat diets). In
