MOVIE TIME! Common Ground, the award-winning sequel to Kiss the Ground, profiles a positive and uplifting movement of white, black and indigenous farmers using regenerative, rather than conventional, models of agriculture.
Regenerative farming builds soil health through practices such as no-till farming, planting cover crops, crop rotations and planting native plants, all of which also reduce emissions. The film depicts a web of money, power and politics behind our broken food system, and argues that regenerative farming can help stabilize the earth’s climate, restore lost ecosystems, and significantly increase our food supply.
After the film, experienced panelists will provide further insights and critiques of the movie including the movie’s encouragement of cattle grazing, which scientific consensus identifies as a net contributor to climate change.
Additionally, the audience will be encouraged to act on their newfound understanding of regenerative agriculture by petitioning the Federal Government to stop using the US Farm Bill, expected to cost $1.37T, to endorse CAFOs (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation) and conventional methods of farming.
