It's worth noting that the UN announced that 2015 is the Year of the Soils underlining the importance for managing and maintaining what arable soil we still have. In Canada, Ontario is one of the more fertile regions in the country is losing roughly 351 acres/day of farmland. Not all of that is a permanent loss, but a substantial amount of it is, as farmland is transformed into development of one kind or another. Maybe it's a first-world problem right now but the growth and expansion of cities across the globe put increasing pressure on diminishing amounts of farmland, something that either needs to stop, or we need to find a way around it. At the same time there are some pretty catastrophic predictions about the degradation of good farming soil with the effects of climate change, so if the ideal growing seasons and weather along the globe shifts northward and southward (which is a incredibly simplistic idea of what would happen and isn't entirely accurate at all) depending on which side of the equator they're on, that will have a huge impact on, well, everything.
