As seeds get better, much of the world's soil is getting worse and people are going hungry. Scientists say if they can get the world out of the economically triggered global food crisis, better dirt will be at the root of the solution.

Soils around the world are deteriorating with about one-fifth of the world's cropland considered degraded in some manner. The poor quality has cut production by about one-sixth, according to a World Resources Institute study. Some scientists consider it a slow-motion disaster.

Again, people attack the symptom without understanding the root cause. Of course the farm conditions, in this case the quality of the soil, will deteriorate - too many people trying to farm too much out of limited resources = FAIL.

Let's look at this maturely, shall we? Reduce the world population, simplify lifestyle, localize all food production as much as we can = SUCCESS. And there you have it.
