By coming together to restore these farmlands, we can not only heal our planet, we can heal our communities and ourselves..
The task is great, but so is its promise.

Cultivating this kind of Regenerative Farming will require reckoning with our nation\'s agricultural history--a history marked by discrimination and displacement.
This, Carlisle shows, is the true Regenerative agriculture - not merely a set of technical tricks for storing CO2 in the ground, but a holistic approach that values diversity in both plants and people.
While feeding their communities and revitalizing cultural ties to land, they are steadily stitching ecosystems back together and repairing the natural carbon cycle.
These farmers are restoring native prairies, nurturing beneficial fungi, and enriching soil health.
In Healing Grounds , Liz Carlisle tells the stories of Indigenous, Black, Latinx, and Asian American farmers who are reviving their ancestors\' methods of growing food--techniques long suppressed by the industrial food system.

For one woman, that\'s meant learning her tribe\'s history to help bring back the buffalo.
