Agriculture has had a significant effect on the world's landscape for decades. Over the years agricultural practices have seen dramatic changes that have caused a great impact on the soil leading to its degradation.
Food and fiber productivity soared due to new technologies, mechanization, increased chemical use, commercial seeds, fertilizers, fuel, and governmental policies that favored maximizing production. Although these changes have had many positive effects on farming, there have also been significant costs. Prominent among these is the degradation of soil (Lal and Stewart, 1990).
