Why not rotate their crops, improve the soil with cover crops, vary their production, and use natural fertilizer? Because then they wouldn't be beholden to Big AG, having to buy new fertilizer each year and feeling the need to go with GMO seeds in hopes that they get the promised boost in production, which leads to more pesticides used and having to buy new seed yearly... Leading to less food stability than if they were to use traditional (pre industrial AG revolution) methods.
