“Kiss the Ground: The Promise of Regenerative Agriculture
This optimistic documentary is narrated by Woody Harrelson and makes a strong argument for understanding and respecting the healing power of top soil which could offer a partial solution to the climate crisis. The film begins by pointing out that a handful of healthy topsoil has more living organisms in it than all the people who have ever populated our earth. It continues by exploring how tilling and plowing and the use of pesticides in industrial farming have led to increasing soil erosion and loss of top soils. They trace the resulting damage these traditional farming practice have on our ecology, health and climate.
