Film reminder: Six inches of soil this Thursday

Come along to the film this Thursday 7th November for the viewing at 6pm of "Six inches of soil". Doors and bar open at 5:30. Free for members or £2 for guests.​

This is a story of courage, vision and hope; an inspiring story of three young farmers on the first year of their journey to heal the soil and help transform the food system. Working with communities, small businesses, chefs and entrepreneurs, they, and others like them, are leading the way to transform how our food is produced and consumed. 

As the trio strive to adopt regenerative practices and create viable businesses, they meet seasoned mentors who help them on their journey. They are joined by other experts providing wisdom and solutions from a growing movement of people dedicated to changing the trajectory for food, farming and the planet.

Mainstream “industrial” farming practices significantly contribute to soil degradation, biodiversity loss and climate change. Regenerative farming practices promote healthier soils, provide healthier, affordable food, restore biodiversity and sequester carbon.

Regenerative farming techniques work in harmony with, rather than against nature. They keep carbon in the ground and create resilient systems in the face of climate uncertainty. Together with a focus on local food systems, shorter supply chains, the advantages are numerous. We get to know who is growing our food and how, farmers get paid a fair price and have the satisfaction of producing healthy food in a healthy environment.
