COMMON GROUND

Welcome (back!) to the movement

Common Ground is narrated by Jason Momoa, Laura Dern, Ian Somerhalder, Donald Glover, Woody Harrelson & Rosario Dawson

It's been three years since we released the groundbreaking film Kiss The Ground and so many of you rallied behind the cause. Since then, 30 million acres of land (!) have been committed to transitioning to regenerative agriculture. But our work isn't done. We are thrilled to announce our newest, and most impactful documentary:

People from all walks of life, different political backgrounds and different parts of the world share one thing in common – the very soil beneath our feet.

Common Ground takes you on a journey from the halls of Congress Washington DC to a regenerative oasis in the Chihuahan desert in Mexico

Make sure to stay tuned for our festival appearances, details on the film and ways you can get involved.

Join us on a journey to spread the stories of the trailblazers of the Regenerative Movement who produce tremendous quantities of food, bring entire ecosystems back to life and rebuild soil health.

BILLIONS OF PROBLEMS

MILLIONS OF FARMERS

ONE SOLUTION
JOIN THE MOVEMENT

Regenerative Agriculture is the solution

The planet, and our time on it, has 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 takes a systems-based, holistic look at the land being stewarded and applies various principles with the goal of making the land more productive and biodiverse over time. Healthy soil creates a positive feedback loop across the ecosystem.

Often, improving soil health and function improves productivity and biodiversity, and can eventually put carbon back into the land.

Now is the time to build massive political will to advance regenerative agriculture in the 2023 US Farm Bill and beyond.

The House Ag Committee is open for feedback until Friday, June 9th! We made you an easy guide to do so:
