This isn’t really true. The need to move land is caused by western farming practices. Food forests can operate on the same land indefinitely as they did for native americans for millenia because they are a mix of plants that keep the soil well regulated. They also produce more food per acre than monocultures. They’re just more labor intensive to harvest. You can’t use machines you have to pick things by hand.
I was specifically talking about monoculter farms and the reason for nutrient loss in plants. You don’t see a dip in nurrient loss (or as much) on organic farms or farms that practice regenerative farming practices and permiculture.
