Britain's What's On Event Guide
Film Screening: Six Inches of Soil - plus Q&A with producer
Be inspired with a special screening of Six Inches of Soil, a powerful British documentary that explores the vital issue of soil health and the transformative potential of regenerative farming.
This 96-minute film follows the inspiring journeys of three young farmers—Anna Jackson, Adrienne Gordon, and Ben Thomas—who are leading the charge against the industrial food system and restoring the land through sustainable practices. With expert insights from renowned figures like Henry Dimbleby and Satish Kumar, the film highlights solutions to restore biodiversity, improve public health, and combat climate change. Completed in 2023, Six Inches of Soil premiered at the Oxford Real Farming Conference and was shown at COP28.
A Q&A session will follow the screening where you will have an opportunity to put your questions to our panel of special guests, including the film’s producer, Claire Mackenzie and experts in regenerative farming. Don’t miss this opportunity to be inspired and learn how we can heal the soil and transform the future of farming.
