Soil degradation is very dangerous to organisms all around the world, it will continue to become more harmful as the amount of pollution in the soil increases. Soil degradation happens when the quality of the soil is poor, as a result of agricultural practices. Pollution and chemicals from farming, fracking and mining are huge contributors to soil degradation.

Farmers are unable to grow their crops properly if the soil is not fertile. Fruits and vegetables can easily catch diseases which can cause sickness when eating something that was not grown right.

The amount of manure farmers inhale is a huge factor of getting respiratory diseases just like the amount of chemicals workers and communities inhale while around mining and fracking sites.

Companies working with fracking and mining sites are not cautious enough to protect the health of all living things on earth, if they are making profit the environment or community does not matter to them, they are going to continue to poison more communities with no consequences which will take over the amount of good quality soil we actually have left.
