> some way in which the stat is misleading The number they have for topsoil generation is how long it takes if you don't try to stimulate it. There are lots of ways to increase the rate of topsoil development. So that bit is a tiny bit misleading, because while some of what they are kind of implying is permanent can be reversed. That said, the situation is very bad. Ways around could possibly include non-traditional agriculture (hydroponics et al) or other less palatable things, like dietary changes or increased farming regulation.
