This article has a pretty rosey outlook, but there's one thing it glosses over. Using mulch for ground cover represents an economic loss in most cases, because it would otherwise be used to animal feed or biofuels. That's why farmers in Europe and North America see less business sense in investing in soil remediation. It only makes sense in severely degraded soil, were crop yields have declined far enough that the economic impact is greater than the benefits of reselling mulch.

Voluntary guidelines, business solutions, and consumer activism can not save our soils.

Compost: waste food, paper, etc. Balance brown and green matter. Add worms. Dig in.
