You'd probably need an effective carbon economy and regulatory framework that would reward soil with good carbon sequestration.

But to your point, the masters human race would rather destroy themselves that do things like that.

No. Healthy soil means high carbon content (mycelium, microbes etc).

"Dead soil" that has been tilled too much will have fucked up nitrogen and other cycles, requiring irrigation, supplemental fertilizer and more pesticides.

The climate crisis angle is just icing on the cake.
