Is topsoil worth it?

As a concerned environmentalist and investor in agricultural commodities, I must ask: is investing in topsoil conservation truly worth the effort and resources? With climate change causing soil degradation and loss of fertile land at an alarming rate, could the long-term benefits of preserving and enhancing topsoil outweigh the initial costs? Are there viable strategies and technologies that farmers and governments can employ to ensure sustainable agriculture while also protecting this vital natural resource? And finally, how can we ensure that the value of topsoil is recognized and incorporated into economic decision-making processes, both locally and globally?
