KISS THE GROUND unveils a game-changer to our climate crisis: the Earth’s own soil. The solution is called “Regenerative Agriculture” and this film presents the research, practice, and hope we need to move forward. Together.
Regenerative Agriculture can: Revive farmer prosperity, reduce flooding & draught, replenish fresh water sources, reduce fire hazards, reverse global warming, recreate regional access to nutrient-dense food, reduce toxic pesticides & fertilizers, reduce dead zones & water pollution, reverse extinction, and reconnect humanity & nature.
Kiss the Ground is 1hr 24min in length. The post-film discussion and composting Q & A will be held via Webex on Thursday, June 24, 7:00p.m.
Free access to the film is made possible through grant funding, and this program is part of a series of efforts by Compost Montclair, a ChangeX grant initiative, to encourage local residents to use yard and food waste to enhance soil and avoid sending organic matter to the landfill.
