Our time on this planet is a ticking clock. The majority of U.S. soils are extremely degraded, with topsoil loss occurring at a rate of 5.6 tons per acre a year on agricultural land. Our current agriculture system does not do enough to support soil health.


Regenerative agriculture is about reviving our soil, encouraging biodiversity, and ultimately creating a thriving farming ecosystem. Unlike conventional farming, which often depletes soil health and contributes to climate change, regenerative practices aim to restore and enhance natural resources. It’s about working with nature, within the context of nature.


This way of farming is better for our soil, our farmers, our food, our health, and our economy. It is truly common ground for everyone.


Healthy soil creates a positive feedback loop across the ecosystem. The benefits of regenerative agriculture extend beyond carbon sequestration. According to the experts in Common Ground, these practices can lead to healthier, more nutrient-dense foods, more resilient farms, and even more profitable farming businesses. Our very own heroes who joined us at the Seattle premiere can attest – transitioning to regenerative agriculture is not only about ensuring a healthy future for the generations to come but it can have life-changing results in only a few years - for our health and our economy!
