Common Ground (Movie)

It’s not too late to fix our food system and restore our soils, in fact, it’s one of the most powerful things we can do to help all living things thrive -- including us.  #CommonGroundMovie unveils how we can find common ground while fixing major issues facing our society. We are more than a movie. We are a movement to drive a “tipping point” of #100millionacres (which is just over 10% of the 900 million acres of range and farmland in the US) to transition into certified regenerative systems by 2025. We can transform our agriculture and land management practices while boosting #biodiversity and restoring the Earth’s #water and #carbon cycles.  Make a plan to see #CommonGroundFilm in theaters, starting next week in #Seattle, #Portland, and #New York, to learn how. See current cities and showtime dates below!

"Do we want poisonous #food and #climate chaos, or do we want healthy food and a balanced climate? The choice is that simple. And I think the reason why we go into the mechanisms of chemical agriculture and chemical foods in @commongrounddoc is because the planet is boiling, your children are sick. Nine out of ten Americans are metabolically unhealthy. Let's get real. We are literally paying for a system that is making us sick with our tax dollars. That is stupid. And we need to stop it. And we need to switch to regenerative agriculture. It's just that clear. You ask, what was the motivation to go deeper in #CommonGroundMovie? Frustration. Everyone's frustrated. Frustrated with the lack of movement around the issues that are endemic in our country. Broken economy. Broken health system. Broken food system. The solution is so elegant, it's so easy to fix the soil, fix farming practices, and everything else flows." - Director Josh Tickell in a recent interview with @Forbes.

Regeneration agriculture is not just a solution to the global topsoil and biodiversity crises… it’s critical to restore our health too. Watch @commongrounddoc, playing in select theatres, for even more information on the impacts of Glyphosate and other agriculture chemicals.

Did you know that we can restore soil organic matter to pre-colonial indigenous levels? Check out this NEW clip of @commongrounddoc featuring @soulfirefarm and @donaldglover to learn more! 
 Regenerative farms like Soul Fire Farm continue to prove that regenerative agriculture practices can not only grow tons of food and sequester tons of carbon, it can also bring biodiversity and rural communities back to life. 
 Get tickets to watch #CommonGroundMovie, now playing in select theaters now, to learn more about their story as well as other farmers and ranchers across the country who are uniting around a common goal: to holistically heal our soils, grow nutrient dense foods, and fix the corruption in our farming and food systems all to restore our health and the health of our planet.

We were honored to have the First Partner of California, @JenSiebelNewsom, join us as a special guest for our Sacramento premiere with @RootsofChange earlier this month. As a leader, advocate, mother, and award-winning filmmaker, she understands the importance of environmental and human health. In fact, among her many initiatives, she has worked with stakeholders across the state to build upon the 'Farm to School' program, which connects local farmers and food to California students while creating a more sustainable and equitable food system. We were excited to learn about other state-wide initiatives, not only because our directors and Big Picture Ranch call California home, but also because it's a leading agricultural resource: producing 1/3 of vegetables, and 2/3 of fruits and nuts for the entire country! We look forward to seeing California's bold efforts to expand regenerative agriculture practices to ensure a healthy equitable future for farms and food systems. And we hope many more states follow suit. Thank you Jennifer for your support and leadership! Let's keep growing this movement! 🌱 Join us at commongroundfilm.org

Farmers like Rick Clark of @FarmGreen13 can lead the restoration of our soils, our health, and our planet! This is why we're particularly excited to partner with @FarmAid for the Indianapolis Premiere of @commongrounddoc this Sunday, February 25th! We can’t wait for more farmers and ranchers and others to see this movie, and understand the power of our farming and land management practices. After the screening, there will be a special audience Q&A with Rick Clark from Southwest Indiana, #Indiana State Senator @shelliyoder @SenatorYoder, Lauren McCalister of People's Cooperative Market, and Katy Rogers of Teter Retreat and Organic Farm!
