A growing number of farmers are shaking off conventional methods and harnessing practices to rebuild soil health and fertility—cover crops, minimal tilling, managed grazing, diverse crop rotations. It is a reverse revolution in some ways, taking farming back to what it once was, when yield was not king, industrialization not the norm, and small farms dabbled in many things rather than specializing in one.
The purported benefits are profound: Healthy soil retains water and nutrients, supports biodiversity, reduces erosion, and produces nutritious food. But there’s one other, critical gain in our rapidly warming world: these farming methods suck carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and store it back in the soil.

The How to save a planet podcast did a story on this
A couple of years back.
A guy from a long generation of farmers switched to no rill farming almost by accident (it was too cold and ground frozen).
Over time they got improved soil and carbon retention, water drainage more productivity bushels per acre as well as lower cost. Not dealing with exposure to pesticides, herbicides etc.
And yet everyone of his neighbours saw him as the lazy farmer.
