We’re stewards to around 3 million free-range earthworms - all aerating & nutrient-cycling the soil. Together they process roughly 12 tonnes of earth per year & hide the moment Digger Mole comes snuffling past [Ref: Rothamsted Experimental Station data for fertile UK grasslands]
"Once, we valued soil-nutrients in many more shades than brown. That's was the art of perpetual sustainability at play. Today, too often, we hide the wonder of Earth's cycles away from sight." (@Worldof_Water)

@Worldof_Water agrees that bioluminescent marine algae, given a choice, would probably prefer to be born free and live in their natural environment - but the same could be said for any farmed plant or animal.
