Nikki Reed and husband Ian Somerhalder were among the stars to attend the special screening of Common Ground at Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Los Angeles on Thursday in Beverly Hills.
The new documentary film offers a ‘groundbreaking look’ into the global soil crisis and how regenerative farming is the solution, as reported by Sierra.
Directed by Josh and Rebecca Tickell, who co-wrote the documentary with Johnny O’Hara, Academy Award-winning actress Laura Dern narrates that action that must be taken to help save our planet and reverse the effects of climate change.
On this day, Reed looked both sexy and chic in a sleeveless black dress with matching pumps and a clutch purse when they hit the red carpet for the event.
She and Somerhalder had a whirlwind start to their romance.

The Twilight actress and The Vampire Diaries actor were first linked in 2014, and by 2015, they were married.
Her husband, 45, who’s best known for his role on the hit series’ Lost and The Vampire Diaries, was a perfect match with his wife in the fashion department dressed in a black suit with a white button-down and black boots.
Late last year, Reed took to Instagram to promote Common Ground — which she promises is ‘so much more than a film.’
She continued: ‘It is a promise to our children that we will show up for their future; that we care enough to keep fighting until we start to see the changes we know are necessary.’
Reed then explained why revamping architecture will help yield a ‘healthier planet and healthier people.’
‘We used to think we had to sacrifice profit in order to prioritize the health of the people and the integrity of our food system.
‘But this film shows that this is no longer true. Farmers can actually make MORE money if they break away from government subsidies and the ties that connect them to the agrochemical industry, which in turn will yield healthier crops, healthier soil, a healthier planet and healthier people,’ she wrote.
Along with Somerhalder and Reed, some of the other celebrities and high-profile people on hand to lend their support at the screening include Jason Momoa, Demi Moore, Malin Akerman, Jack Donnelly, Amy Smart, Alfonso Ribeiro, Angela Unkrich, Sal Masekela, Rachelle Carson-Begley, Ed Begley, Jr., along with Laura Dern and her daughter Jaya Harper.

Common Ground is anything but bleak, instead, with the help of narrator Dern, it offers much-needed ‘hope at a time when environmental degradation, the climate crisis, the extinction crisis, and threats to our natural resources are driving cynicism among even the most optimistic.’
The film focuses on regenerative farming and putting it into practice, and all of the potential benefits, and even the long-term higher income for farmers, regenerative farming truly can have.
According to the Noble Research Institute, regenerative farming ‘is the process of restoring degraded soils using practices like adaptive grazing, no-till planting, no or limited use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizer, which are based on ecological principles.’
One of the many goals of regenerative agriculture is to strive to work with nature rather than work against it.
The regenerative agriculture process is more than just being sustainable.
It’s about reversing degradation and building up the soil to make it healthier than its current state.
