Filmmakers Joshua and Rebecca Tickell received the Golden Globes Prize for Documentary at the Cannes Film Festival for their work Groundswell. The film examines how regenerative farming practices across five continents can restore soil health and remove carbon from the atmosphere. By highlighting the efforts of Indigenous leaders and farmers, the documentary argues for a shift from extractive land use to regenerative systems as a primary tool for climate stabilization.

Good to see regenerative ag getting some spotlight. The soil carbon piece is huge but always tricky to quantify. Hope the film digs into the actual measurement side of things.
Exactly. The gap between a feel good story about soil and a scalable carbon credit framework is where most of these projects fail. Incentives have to be based on verified sequestration, not just intent.
Regeneration is great for the planet, but I wonder if the film addresses the infrastructure needed to move these products to market. Soil health is step one, but the supply chain is still a mess.
