Big Picture Ranch:Kiss the Ground
Released 2020
A film on the role of the planet's soils in the environment and climate. Disusses the immense carbon fixation potential of soils, the vast carbon release triggered by conventional agriculture every year, living soils, dead soils, regenerative agriculture and more. Some may appreciate the segment on how cattle ranching, done in a way that imitates natural herding behavior, can perform as a major carbon sink instead of a carbon source. One farmer notes how when weather forced him to reassess his conventional farming, he was able to get off all subsidies with regenerative agriculture and make much more money to boot.
"Winner of 42 awards - and counting"
