Everyone is connected to not only each other, but also to the Earth. However, we are living in a society that is so incredibly divided that we forget this simple fact. Despite all of our differences, we all share a common ground, the soil in which we live upon. It's from the soil that we are sustained. Common Ground by Joshua and Rebecca Tickell, dives into the fact that soil is what is keeping the environment stable. Given that most of our food is grown in the soil, unhealthy soil means unhealthy food. Our health is directly tied to what we consume, and as mentioned in the film, food is quite literally medicine. Regenerative practices will be the legacy that we leave behind so that future generations can thrive. With a packed cast of actors who are passionate about the film's message, such as Ian Somerhalder, Common Ground is a catalyst for change in the agricultural world.

Let's find a Common Ground!
eleanorkendrick11 October 2023
Does putting an end to climate change begin with something as simple as putting a halt to the system as we know it? Industrial agriculture has taken over the food industry, and with that, comes many harmful consequences. Not only do industrial farming practices lead to erosion and deserted land, but the harmful chemicals they regularly use in practice can have life-threatening effects such as cancer. Common Ground by Joshua and Rebecca Tickell proposes an efficient way to put an end to climate change, while simultaneously healing our own bodies. The film focuses on regenerative farming and putting it into practice, and all of the potential benefits, and even the long-term higher income for farmers, regenerative farming truly can have. If we all can come together on one common ground, we can save our planet and reverse the effects of climate change as we know them today!
