We don't live on land that looks like this but it's destroying biodiversity anyway https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/general-view-t...

To be fair, that's a desert so technically speaking agriculture increases biodiversity there

Biomass maybe, but biodiversity no. There is a myriad array of weird desert things adapted to such a climate, just not huge numbers of them.
