       @Djeep Capitalism is what drives farmers towards better ecological practices. They stopped fallowing as a means of weed control because constantly tilling the fields is bad for microbiology and erosion. It makes productivity worse. That means less money. Now they use chemical and ever since they have been trying to use less and less of it because it saves them money. Same with fertilizer. Farmers have known that the better you treat the land and animals the better they treat you. They get a bad wrap but have always been trying to find a way to use less chemical, less fertilizer, less fuel, less water etc. It turns out that those beneficial objectives cost less money!
