Regeneration agriculture is not just a solution to the global topsoil and biodiversity crises… it’s critical to restore our health too.

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.

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!
