Keynote by Josh Tickell:
COMMON GROUND: A Regenerative Path to Climate, Food, & Soil Transformation
In this eye-opening keynote, acclaimed filmmaker and environmental advocate Josh Tickell presents the groundbreaking campaign and film Common Ground, the follow-up to the globally impactful Kiss the Ground. Through compelling storytelling, data-driven insights, and visionary optimism, Tickell outlines how regenerative agriculture holds the key to reversing climate change, restoring soil health, and rebuilding our broken food systems.
Tickell explores the urgent need to leverage nature’s own carbon capture system, the soil, as a scalable solution to climate instability. With vivid examples from the Common Ground campaign, he illustrates how converting farmland to regenerative practices not only sequesters carbon but also boosts biodiversity, increases water retention, improves food nutrition, and enhances farmer profitability.
From powerful visuals to real-world impact, like converting 100 million acres of U.S. farmland to regenerative methods, this keynote delivers a hopeful, actionable path forward for corporations, governments, and individuals. It’s not just a message; it’s a movement to regenerate 1 billion acres globally by 2035.
Ideal for: Sustainability conferences, climate action summits, food & agriculture forums, corporate ESG events, and innovation festivals.
