For all the issues being argued about in the political sphere, how often do you hear about the quality of our soil? Seems pretty important. Regenerative agriculture techniques exist that produce and sustain healthy soil. This soil actually sequesters CO2 (if you're concerned about that), and doesn't require the massive inputs of toxic pesticides, herbicides and artificial fertilizers. This shit in turns makes people sick and contributes to our chronic disease.
Carbon tax and dividend would mean permaculture (what you're describing) would likely become the most dominant form of farming.
It is incredibly important, and good policy would take soil quality into consideration. Regulations are important, they are forms of protection for citizens against industry. They can also be used as tools for protection for said industry, but good thoughtful and well executed regulation is important and none are more important than those of our food supply.
Sounds like a relevant place to drop this..... https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/mar/28/vegetables-losing-nutrients-biofortification
