What was sir Edwin Sandy's hope for when he set up the head right system and indentured servitude in Jamestown?

Sir Edwin Sandys aimed to promote the settlement and economic viability of Jamestown by implementing the headright system and indentured servitude.

Indentured servitude provided a labor force to cultivate tobacco and other crops, which were essential for the colony's profitability. Together, these initiatives were intended to attract more settlers, boost agricultural production, and secure the economic success of the colony.
