‘Common Ground’ Review: Well-Intentioned Doc About Regenerative Farming Offers Limited Insights Into an American Environmental Crisis

Joshua and Rebecca Harrell Tickell challenge the country’s unethical farming practices through experts and celebrity advocates in a naive film that nonetheless inspires change.

This won’t be news to anyone who’s watched some food-centric documentaries before. From “Food, Inc.” to “Fed Up,” and even the recent “Food, Inc. 2” (delivering a much tougher and more thorough point-of-view than “Common Ground”), various nonfiction offerings have shouted this message loud and clear. Still, it’s one that bears repeating when destructive conglomerates show no signs of retiring methods that willingly destroy the land and the health of those who rely on it.

Still, there are some flashy infographics to take in; popular needle drops, like Aretha Franklin’s “Respect,” to swing to; some pretty nature shots; and an impressive group of experts that ask the right questions about the reliability of the food we eat. Some of them are the very specialists that once dared to question Monsanto, a biotechnology corporation that invented a harmful glyphosate-based herbicide in the ’70s and went defunct in 2018 after dissenters drew attention to its harmful products.

Most impressively, “Common Ground” (like the previously mentioned “Food, Inc. 2”) questions whether the new “plant-based” movement in creating over-processed meat-like products is really good for the environment and human health. (Hint: the fake term “plant-based” shouldn’t automatically signal “good” or “healthy.”) As “Common Ground” clearly displays, there is enough evidence to prove that our goal shouldn’t be eliminating meat altogether, but safeguarding a sustainable production model that doesn’t abuse the animals or lands.

As the title of the documentary suggests, the Tickells assume — perhaps a bit naively — that this is a bipartisan value supported both by Democrats and Republicans. To that end, an upright, activism-minded Indiana farmer who says he’s a registered Republican makes an admirably unassailable case for regenerative agriculture, a method he proudly sticks with and advances. But the politics of who and what enables capitalistic corporations today is of course a far more complex issue than “Common Ground” suggests.

Elsewhere, the film holds the everyday consumer frustratingly (and perhaps unintentionally) accountable through a series of deficient calls to action, such as making more educated decisions while buying our groceries. It feels like a big part of the food ecosystem is missing from the Tickells’ parting message when the prohibitive costs of organic, ethically farmed and raised products in supermarkets (and who exactly can afford them) go unaddressed. Still, there is something moving about the earth’s regenerative power that we witness in the film, as well as the Tickells’ naiveté, in the old-timey suggestion that if we could set our differences aside, we could achieve things that can benefit us all. Dare to dream.
