Kiss the Ground

How the Food You Eat Can Reverse Climate Change, Heal Your Body & Ultimately Save Our World

By: Josh Tickell, John Mackey - introduction

Narrated by: Josh Tickell

From Josh Tickell, one of America’s most celebrated documentary filmmakers, comes a “fascinating, easy-to-follow blueprint for how eating in ways that nourish and regenerate the soil can not only help reverse global warming, but also bring greater vitality to our lives” (Wolfgang Puck).

“A must read for anyone committed to healing our bodies and our Earth” (Deepak Chopra), Kiss the Ground explains an incredible truth: by changing our diets to a soil-nourishing, regenerative agriculture diet, we can reverse global warming, harvest healthy, abundant food, and eliminate the poisonous substances that are harming our children, pets, bodies, and ultimately our planet.

This “richly visual” (Kirkus Reviews) look at the impact of an underappreciated but essential resource—the very ground that feeds us—features fascinating and accessible interviews with celebrity chefs, ranchers, farmers, and top scientists. Kiss the Ground teaches you how to become an agent in humanity’s single most important and time-sensitive mission: reverse climate change and effectively save the world—all through the choices you make in how and what to eat. Also a full-length documentary executive produced by Leonardo DiCaprio and narrated by Woody Harrelson, “Kiss the Ground both informs and inspires” (Marianne Williamson, #1 New York Times bestselling author).

So important!

Such an important book! Balanced and well written, and well read. It should be mandatory in schools. Looking forward to seeing the documentary. Thank you Josh Tickell!

Equal parts terrifying and inspiring

This book was a lot to take in. The author gets straight to the heart of the matter, discussing how our industrial farming practices are impacting our climate, our society, and our health. While much of the message paints a very grim future, I appreciated that the author provided clear suggestions regarding what actions we can take individually, as a community, and as larger society to potentially "turn the tide" in what otherwise seems to be a lost cause.

this book can save the world

A lot of this stuff I knew growing up with my environmentally-minded mom. But a lot of the detail was revelatory for me, and so, so important. Thank you!

How Agric Carbon Sequestration Can Save Us

Tickell presents very persuasive details on how modern agriculture is poisoning us, causing desertification, and contributing to global warming. We need to switch to regenerative agriculture to fix the world. This book tells how. It's a bit preachy toward the end, but otherwise it's a great book.
