Kiss the Ground Documentary Explores Promise of Regenerative Agriculture

“Like many of this genre, the film moves from an account of how dire things are toward potential solutions. Innovative graphics make complex soil science clear and accessible and demonstrate how conventional farming practices deplete rather than replenish soil health, which leads to desertification and contributes to climate change. Five percent or fewer of farms practice regenerative soil management, according to the film, and many farmers do not know how soil works. With the decoupling of livestock and row crops from commercial agriculture, there is no ongoing soil fortification, hence the need for added inputs, especially nitrogen, to maintain soil health. The application of synthetic chemical fertilizers then masks underlying problems with the soil. Two hundred peer-reviewed studies reportedly connect these chemicals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), various cancers, and more.”
