Since the Industrial Revolution,we've degraded 1/3rd of all soils,moderately to highly.
We've done the same to over half of all agricultural soils.
Each year we degrade another 12-million hectares.
That's quite a legacy for 'factory' farming.

Robotics tend to significantly reduce consumer prices,which improves the economic situation for those not displaced by robots.Which would be the majority.Perhaps those,whom are under threat from being displaced by modern technology should have their ears to the rails,maintain vigilance, making contingency plans in advance.
If your job is important,you'll pay attention to your environment,and be aware of potential dynamics which would impact you directly.Otherwise,shame on you.
They don't call it economic Darwinism for nothing.
