Roughly 1/3 of all US farmland is leased.

If it is owned by folks in the community, there is some social incentive. Out-of-state landlords? Profit and loss.
A feedback loop for remote landlords to pay the price for letting their land get overworked might be nice. More than just the crop yield loss, but rebuilding the soil for the next generations.
No-till and cover crops are a great approach, but I’ve been told there’s a steep learning curve. But the results are impressive.
