> Simply using nature to work for you...

Most (by far) farmers practicing no-till aren't using nature to work for them, they are using chemistry... specifically herbicides, like glyphosate.

That's not to say it's wrong; in a lot of cases using herbicides instead of tilling is actually more sustainable... many soil types will degrade very fast with tillage, and while herbicides surely also have damaging effects (in terms of microbial composition, etc), the evidence so far suggests strongly that tillage is worse.
