    Any farming will deplete the soil of nutrients over time simply because we harvest things from the plants and ship them elsewhere and don’t ship the waste or replacement nutrients back. Especially considering the insect die off, which at least moved some nutrients at random, though still not likely enough to make up for removing them at an industrial scale.
