Farmers Footprint is also worth checking out. They have a similar mission. - https://farmersfootprint.us/

They have shown conventional soil will return to normal after 1 growing season, which is pretty wild.

They even reimburse farmers that make the switch, but don't see the same yields.

1 year back to 'normal'? Unlikely. Soil that has been under intense management will almost always need more than 1 year to 'return to normal' which is hard to define.
There is a great documentary on regenerative farming. https://farmersfootprint.us/watch/ - 6 minutes in. Worth watching the full 20 minutes.
