build healthy soils and, in turn, improve air and water quality, increase biodiversity<br />
and wildlife habitat, increase water infiltration and retention, reduce soil erosion,<br />
support plant and animal health, and build vital resilience in the system.<br />
Improved ecological functioning can lead <strong>to</strong> improved economics and business<br />
outcomes, such as a reduction in input costs, improved crop and lives<strong>to</strong>ck<br />
