“Kiss the Ground gives us the most practical solution to reversing
climate change. The soil is a vital and untapped resource. A must
read for anyone committed to healing our bodies and our Earth.”
*Deepak Chopra*
“Through my life as a chef, one of the most important lessons I
have learned is that we have to take care of our Earth, or it won’t
be able to go on taking care of us. Every one of us—farmers
and chefs, parents and children, business people and world
leaders—must play a part in keeping our planet healthy so that it
can go on keeping us healthy. That’s why I’m so happy to
discover Kiss the Ground, which offers a fascinating,
easy-to-follow blueprint for how eating in ways that nourish and
regenerate the soil can not only help reverse global warming but
also bring greater vitality to our lives. “
*Wolfgang Puck*
“Kiss the Ground is a powerful, provocative new look at how we can
all participate in honoring Mother Earth. Our food is the source of
our life and the soil is the source of our food. This book shows
the simple steps each one of us can take to restore the health of
our bodies and our planet.”
*Woody Harrelson*
“Food, soil, even eating itself…all are fundamental issues in the
effort to live a more enlightened life. Kiss the Ground both
informs and inspires, as it connects biology and geography and
species diversity to the yearnings of the human heart.”
*Marianne Williamson, #1 New York Times bestselling author*
“Our food choices not only impact our personal health, but the
health of the world we all live in. Kiss the Ground is the first
book to connect our health to what is going on in the atmosphere.
If you care about your kids, about the food you’re feeding them and
about the future of the planet, you need to read this book.”
*Vani Hari, New York Times bestselling author and creator of
FoodBabe.com*
“Kiss the Ground paints a hopeful yet achievable picture of a way
of growing food that makes our soil healthier, makes us healthier,
and ultimately could make our climate healthier too. As somebody
who’s thrown his hat into the new ‘regenerative movement’ I
recommend this book to anyone wanting to heal themselves and our
planet.”
*Kimbal Musk, co-founder of The Kitchen*
“The book Kiss the Ground shines a beacon of light on the growing
global 'regenerative agriculture’ movement, illuminating a new path
toward carbon sequestration and hopefully, a path toward a balanced
climate. With clear, accessible language, wit and humor, this book
gives readers powerful tools to overcome humanity’s greatest
challenge."
*Terry Tannimen, CEO of Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation and former
Secretary of the California EPA*
“Kiss the Ground re-imagines conventional wisdom and adds to
our armory in our existential duty to slow and reverse climate
change. We know that we must aggressively reduce our carbon
footprint. But as we learn in this profound, timely, and important
book, we can also pursue traditional solutions to harness the
carbon already in our atmosphere—and replant it here on earth. A
simple composting program and healthy soils can be a key weapon in
saving our planet (from ourselves).”
*Gavin Newsom, Lt. Governor of California*
“Tickell entwines his explanation of the new agriculture in vivid
reportage…[his] vision is captivating.”
*Publishers Weekly*
“A journalist, activist, and filmmaker examines how soil-conscious
farming practices may affect climate change…refreshingly, the
narrative is richly visual.”
*Kirkus Reviews*
"Kiss the Ground takes the reader on an adventure… with an
empowering section on concrete steps everyone can take to be a part
of the solution."
*Permaculture Magazine North America*
"Tickell explains technical jargon in an engaging and fluid
style...this well-written and engaging book will appeal to devotees
of the cause."
*Library Journal*
