Groundswell travels across five continents to show farmers, ranchers, scientists, change-makers and Indigenous leaders applying regenerative land-management practices to rebuild soil health, restore natural cycles and strengthen the resilience of food and farming systems.
Its central message is clear: soil is infrastructure. Carbon, water, nutrients and biology need to be understood as a connected system if land is to become more productive, more resilient and better able to support the wider environment.
That is closely aligned with the work PCS is undertaking in engineered biochar and carbon-and-mineral materials.

Why this matters to PCS
Regenerative agriculture is not one product or a single farming technique. It is a systems approach. Its practical requirements can include improved soil structure, better water management, efficient nutrient cycling, stronger biological activity and greater resilience under difficult conditions.
Properly selected and formulated biochar may form part of that wider toolkit. Its role depends on the feedstock, production process, carbon characteristics, particle size, soil, application method and intended result. PCS therefore works backwards from the application—selecting, grading and formulating carbon for a defined purpose rather than treating every biochar as interchangeable or making universal claims.
From regenerative principles to practical materials
Groundswell helps bring regenerative land management into the mainstream. PCS operates at the practical materials layer of that transition: developing carbon products, carbon-and-mineral blends and application routes that can be specified, used and evaluated in real-world conditions.
Through graded biochar and the TerraLith range, PCS is developing application-led solutions for agriculture, horticulture, landscaping, urban trees, soil restoration and other living systems. Development is evidence-led, and product claims must follow testing rather than precede it.
In that sense, Groundswell is a powerful global introduction to the market PCS is building for: practical materials that can help turn regenerative principles into repeatable and measurable land-management interventions.
The film does not suggest that one product will solve everything. Its deeper message is that soil, carbon, water, biology and nutrition must be considered together. That is precisely the direction of travel behind PCS and TerraLith.
Watch, then talk to PCS
Watch the trailer and consider what regenerative land management could mean for your soil, growing system or project. PCS works with growers, land managers, landscape professionals, researchers and delivery partners to identify appropriate carbon grades, formulations and application routes.
