Kiss the Ground is a documentary film that explores the potential of regenerative agriculture as a solution to many of the world's environmental issues. The film argues that traditional farming practices have led to soil degradation, deforestation, and a loss of biodiversity, which has accelerated climate change.
The film features interviews with researchers, farmers, and activists who are working to promote regenerative agriculture, which focuses on building healthy soil through practices like cover cropping, crop rotation, and composting. By doing so, regenerative agriculture can sequester carbon from the atmosphere, reduce the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, and improve the water-holding capacity of soils, which could help prevent droughts and floods.
Kiss the Ground also explores the impact of regenerative agriculture on communities, highlighting how small-scale farmers around the world are using these practices to improve their livelihoods and provide healthy food for their families and communities.
The film is narrated by Woody Harrelson and features appearances by celebrities like Gisele Bundchen, Ian Somerhalder, and Tom Brady. It has received widespread critical acclaim for its message of hope and its call to action to support regenerative agriculture as a way to address the climate crisis and create a more sustainable food system.
