Kiss the Ground, a nonprofit and leading voice for the regenerative movement, partnered up with Woody Harrelson, actor and star of Kiss the Ground the film, for a policy briefing with members of Congress and staff.

Hosted by Representatives Angie Craig and Dean Phillips of Minnesota, with opening remarks from Representative Jim Baird of Indiana, the bipartisan briefing focused on regenerative agriculture and the upcoming 2023 Farm Bill, a cornerstone issue that Kiss the Ground’s Advocacy program is working on via the campaign they launched in 2022, Regenerate America™. Congressman Baird, chair of the House Agriculture conservation subcommittee, acknowledged the crucial role farmers and ranchers play in stewarding land: “Soil is a living organism as far as I am concerned. There is a lot more interest today in agriculture in making sure that we have soil health, and I want to commend our farmers and ranchers for that.”
