Restoring land health for sustainable agriculture

While some agricultural inputs' harmful effects are becoming evident, many policies and incentives are emerging that promote sustainable farming. They encourage environmentally sound practices that conserve healthy, biodiverse, productive landscapes and soils, retain moisture, benefit from nutrient cycling, decomposition, soil structure, and help control pests and diseases. This report highlights the immense potential of widespread adoption of sustainable agricultural practices for safe, long-term food, feed, fiber, and energy production. It also emphasizes that ecosystem services derived from healthy soils are not limited to the farm. When farmers work the land sustainably, they do not just feed us; they transform agriculture into a genuine nature-based solution to our most pressing societal challenges, contributing to regulating the climate, enhancing water security, and providing habitats to countless species. For the first time, this report estimates the significant potential monetary value of these additional benefits and lays out concrete steps to achieve them.
