It sheds light on an alternative approach to farming called regenerative agriculture, which has the potential to balance our climate, restore our water cycles, and feed the world. "Human beings emerged in paradise. If we restore all of the degraded land on the Earth, we can return to paradise. ―So, let's restore a little bit of paradise every day. It's not that difficult. If we stop distracting ourselves with shiny objects and we start to think about what's really important to us. ―To see biodiversity return to a place that was completely devastated. This is where everyone can find tremendous satisfaction and the meaning of our lives." – John Liu @johndennisliu Take action with Kiss the Ground: act, become a soil advocate and check the Resource Library to learn more.
