Kiss the Ground (2020)

 

Kiss the Ground is a fascinating documentary narrated by Woody Harrelson. It gives a look into one of the simplest things we can do to combat climate change: regenerative agriculture. 

The way farming currently works, farmers till the soil in order to be able to plant crops. Tilling the soil year after year leads to desertification. Regenerative agriculture allows for crops to grow year round without ruining the soil which in turn causes carbon dioxide to be absorbed. If enough farmers around the world switch to this, not only will it benefit them more in the long run, it can actually reverse the effects of climate change.

We are shown different farmers who have made this change and scientists who show us the benefits of regenerative agriculture. It requires farmers to make changes to how farming has been done for centuries, but the benefits outweigh anything else.

This is a fascinating film and one filled with hope. The solution is so simple and attainable.
