Home Garden and Biodiversity Improvement in the Anthropogenic's :

Restoring high B:B ratios in anthropogenic ecosystems will help to develop more landscapes in biologically sustainable manner that is cost effective, highly beneficial to biodiversity and our Biosphere.

From this, there is vast immunological bennifit to humans too.
