Totally separate from the capitalism part, isn’t composting a portion of what is grown to return nutrients and maintain soil health a thing? Along with crop rotation, I thought composting the unwanted or unusable products either through a feed-to-manure or organic waste composting method was part of healthy arable land management.
The capitalism part is certainly creating a larger “unwanted/unusable” percentage, but is there any information on how it is impacting overall land sustainability? Monocropping is 100% known to be killing farmland, so I am wondering what the current state of agricultural research is around this.

Probably not the wisest behavior when there’s a fungal infection going around.
