With public interest in environmental issues higher than it has been for years, it is important to maintain the momentum and build on people’s understanding and motivation to protect our natural world. PEACE and AgriGaia explore how environmental films have been used to engage people to make a difference for the environment, as part of efforts to create awareness for people to protect and restore ecosystems around the world, and to support the United Nations Decade for Ecosystem Restoration’s vision “ A world where — for the health & wellbeing of all life on Earth & that of future generations — the relationship between humans and nature has been restored, where the area of healthy ecosystems is increasing and where ecosystem loss, fragmentation and degradation has been ended”.
Kiss the Ground is a film that reveals how regenerating the world's soils can stabilize Earth's climate and create abundant food supplies. This film delves into our relationship with the Earth and how by treating it well, we can change the future of the world. The documentary uses a very in-depth and simple presentation method and collects many empirical cases to let everyone know that when the soil is healthy, not only will the crops and food materials be healthy, but we will also be healthy. Moreover, by restoring the status and function of the ecosystem, it can become our solution to reverse the greenhouse effect and help the earth cool down!
We will begin the first public broadcast on 22nd December 2023 and continue the public broadcasting to next year 2024. We hope that by public broadcasting this documentary, everyone will know that "as long as we start changing our daily dietary choices, we can help cool the earth." From breathtaking landscapes to heartwarming success stories, these films will inspire, educate, and empower us to take action for a more sustainable future, it tells us that everyone has the ability to become a guardian of the earth.
