The easy answer is soil depletion (of nutrients) due to over farming, grazing etc. The hard answer is that there might be more complex layers to it, especially for GMOs
Rotation helps but might not be enough. I don’t know much about this topic though. I think it will be interesting to see how GMOs affect it since we have a very superficial idea of how they fully interact with the soil, pesticides etc.
When we think of modern foods, we think of Yellow #5 or hexane solvent extracted canola oil, but even today's GMO cabbage and corn-fed beef are an experiment on human health.
It's sort of difficult to draw the line; we've been shaping plants and animals more or less consciously for ten thousand years, at least. Just the variety that we developed the old-fashioned way is kind of mind-blowing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassica_oleracea …
How humans cultivated some of our most eaten vegetables. Very cool! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brassica_oleracea … h/t @EricRichards22pic.twitter.com/ZGK7WW7g7q
Great point and great link. That said, breeding a leafier cabbage is much more similar to having a prized bull inseminate your female cows than it is feeding cows a combination of corn and antibiotics so they don't die.
