On a daily basis, we are inundated with more bad news about the environmental catastrophe caused by climate change, unfolding in front of our very eyes. But is it too late? Can anything really be done to stop climate change? It's enough to make us give up. Many of us have. But a simple climate change solution may be literally underneath our feet, according to the Netflix documentary Kiss the Ground from award winning filmmakers Josh and Rebecca Tickell.

Kiss the Ground reveals that by regenerating the world's soils, we can completely and rapidly stabilise Earth's climate, restore lost ecosystems and create abundant food supplies. Is it really that simple? An inspiring, solution-based approach, focusing on regenerative agriculture, this film is a must-watch for anyone interested in how we can reverse climate change.

“There’s so much joy to put your hands in the dirt, feel the dirt, and literally kiss the ground.” - Rebecca Tickell
