Common Ground opens with a warning about the future of our planet but quickly turns it into a promise: we can restore the soil and, in doing so, help save the Earth. Directed by Josh and Rebecca Tickell, the film clearly contrasts regenerative farming, which nurtures the land through practices like minimizing tillage, maximizing animal grazing and using cover crops, with industrial farming's heavy reliance on chemicals and harmful tilling methods. Gabe Brown, a leader in the regenerative farming movement, is a key figure in the film, showing how these practices not only heal the land but also increase farmers' profits by improving soil health and crop yields.
The message is clear, everything on Earth is connected, and small changes can lead to big impacts. The film makes a strong case for how we can all unite in this effort, whether it's by supporting sustainable farming or making mindful choices in our daily lives. If you are curious about how we can turn the tide and create a sustainable future, Common Ground offers inspiring answers that will leave you thinking long after the credits roll.
