Six Inches of Soil Screenings

If you’ve been upskilled in Regenerative Agriculture, you will be as passionate about soil health as we are! 

Six Inches of Soil tells the story of remarkable farmers, communities, small businesses, chefs and entrepreneurs who are leading the way to transform how our food is produced and consumed. Find out why this film has been passionately and painstakingly put together here.

There are approx.178,000 farmers working in the UK who manage 71% of the UK’s land, providing half of the food we eat, we import the rest. Current 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.

Anna is a member of our Farmer Advisory Board and our team at Future Food Movement are attending Six Inches of Soil screenings to support farmers – there is still time to book your screening here!
