“Kiss the Ground”

The first part of the documentary showing the current and future impacts of climate change.
After some rather intense scenes, it quickly shifts into a lighter tone: one of hope. The
documentary, which features A-list celebrities and soil science experts as narrators, presents
an engaging history of agriculture and the effects of humans on soil health. The film
demonstrates the fragility of the world's soils by describing the evolution of tillage,
pesticides, and other agricultural discoveries.

Scientists, researchers, and environmental activists are featured in the documentary . While
explaining how the Earth system works and the consequences of current, unsustainable soil
management and agricultural practices, it advocates for a more regenerative approach to
healing our soil and climate.The film's arguments are simple for everyone to understand,
and it is a lecture we should not miss. As stated in the film, producers in general do not
understand how soil works, and because they benefit from subsidies and the promise of high
profits from promised crop prices by companies, they simply follow procedures to deliver
the products demanded.This way, they continue a broken system without being aware of
the harm they are doing to their own world and way of life.The documentary has a
solutions-focused perspective to inform viewers about more environmentally friendly
agriculture practices that support soil maintenance. They include employing no-till seeding
methods to increase biodiversity while avoiding monoculture farming, integrating animals in
a responsible way, composting extensively, and planting continuous cover crops. All of these
methods work to strengthen the soil's structure, increase the amount of water that the land
can hold onto after rainstorms, and prevent nutrient leaching. As several experts in the
documentary tell us, "if we take care of our soils, our soils will take care of us."

Kiss the Ground is an excellent documentary that describes the role and significance of soil
in agriculture and it illustrates how regenerative agriculture is being used by activists,
scientists, farmers, and politicians to protect the planet's topsoil and fight climate change. In
