Only in the past few weeks three documentaries have been released ( Kiss the Ground, Gather & Life On Our Planet) that discuss the impact of soil degradation, loss of indigenous practices and the devastating impact on climate change and the future of humans. Kiss the Ground shows through scientific data how soil degradation and the current way of agriculture have not only deteriorated the quality of the produce we consume, but also have destroyed the soil.
We have 60 harvests left before the upper layer of the soil will be completely destroyed. One of the main problems that we face is the current means of monocultures, the intense use of pesticides, the never ending cycle of genetically modified seeds and then the increased use of pesticides and chemicals. The film offers solutions and hope, but in the grand scheme of the situation the hope is small and feels far away.
