Film screening: ‘Six inches of soil’ An inspiring story of three young farmers standing up against the industrial food system and transforming the way they produce food – to heal the soil, our health and provide for local communities.
Half the food we eat in the UK is produced by about 180,000 farmers who manage 70% of the land. Current “industrial” mainstream farming practices significantly contribute to soil degradation, biodiversity loss and climate change. Regenerative farming practices, within an agroecological system, promote healthier soils, provide healthier, affordable food, restore biodiversity and sequester carbon.
Six Inches of Soil is a story of three new farmers on the first year of their regenerative journey to heal the soil and help transform the food system – Anna Jackson, a Lincolnshire 11th generation arable and sheep farmer; Adrienne Gordon, a Cambridgeshire small-scale vegetable farmer; and Ben Thomas, who rears pasture fed beef cattle in Cornwall.
There will be an opportunity to discuss the film over light refreshments at the end.
Produced as part of the Cultivate programme, a partnership between Take Art and FilmCrew.
