Watched 'Kiss the Ground' on Netflix last night.
It's a really interesting doc on how soil could do far more to capture CO2 and reverse the climate crisis than any other measure.
Odd to me that more focus isnt behind this?

Basic premise: the soil and plant growth captures far more carbon than any other system on earth.
But we are ruining soil and increasing desertification with awful industrial farming techniques.
But this can be reversed, increasing yields for farmers AND capturing more carbon.

Most campaigns on climate change focuses on reducing emissions (via fossil fuels).
But improving soil actually *reduces* CO2 in air in quite striking numbers, and increases biodiversity.
Feels like a no-brainer to me. Am I missing something? 🤯

The doc itself is a bit cheesy and Hollywood style, with a lot of good-looking actor types getting to call themselves 'environmental activists' and trying to look very worthy.
We had a good laugh at that.
But I'm interested in the science behind this and whether it works.
