Watch Regeneration in Action

The Kiss the Ground-produced, award-winning mini-documentary series, Stories of Regeneration, showcases inspirational journeys of farmers, ranchers, and leaders transforming the Regenerative Movement.

50% of North Dakota’s soil is gone, putting its land and food system at risk. Two farmers are going against convention to save it.

Stories of Regeneration: north dakota

Chris and Tyler are neighboring farmers in Leonard, North Dakota. 10 years ago, they discovered a way to farm that could save our soil while feeding our world. 

They partnered together to regenerate each other’s land through sharing resources, ideas, and even cattle. 

Along the way, they found out that our soil is not much different than our communities. We need diversity and support from one another to truly thrive. 

Watch Stories of Regeneration: North Dakota and discover the radical power of partnership in farming and the potential it has to redefine our food system and save our soil.
