The inspiring story of British farmers standing up against the industrial food system and transforming the way they produce food - to heal the soil, benefit our health and provide for local communities.

In Detail

“Despite all our accomplishments, we owe our existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact it rains.” Paul Harvey (1978) U.S. radio broadcaster. This documentary 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.

Agroecology is an approach to farming that includes ‘regenerative’ farming techniques that work in harmony with, rather than against nature.

It focuses on local food systems and shorter supply chains. ‘Six Inches of Soil’ tells the inspiring story of young British 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.

With introduction and Q&A with Kirsten Mills, Soil and Water Officer with the Western Sussex Rivers Trust on Monday's screening. She is passionate about worms!
