The part of the sentence that functions as an adverb is to better augment.

As an adverb, it describes or gives more information about the verb (in this case, added.)

This type of adverb is an adverb of purpose, because it tells us why the action happened. Because of its grammatical structure, this adverb is an infinitive phrase (it is unmarked) and indicates the purpose of the action.
