Amazon tribes and their creation of dark earth for their agricultural needs perhaps? Cover crops and green manure? No-till? Turning human waste into safe fertiliser?

There are plenty of options.

That's the downside of expanding your population on an unsustainable agricultural system. It's difficult to transition after the fact.
