Biggar Community Market Garden presents a screening of
Six Inches of Soil
The film 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, improve our health and support local communities. The film aims to sound the alarm on a broken system, offer hope for meaningful change, inspire farmers to adopt agroecological and regenerative farming practices, and encourage consumers, food corporations and policymakers to support their efforts.
Six Inches of Soil
is a story of three new farmers in the first year of their regenerative journey to heal the soil and help transform the food system: Anna Jackson, an 11th-generation arable and sheep farmer from Lincolnshire; Adrienne Gordon, a small-scale vegetable farmer in Cambridgeshire; and Ben Thomas, who rears pasture-fed beef cattle in Cornwall.
As the trio of young farmers 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.
Six Inches of Soil has already been shown over 400 times around the UK in cinemas, village halls and on farms, and we are really excited to bring this powerful film to Biggar.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion chaired by the producer Claire McKenzie and an audience Q&A session.
Your ticket includes a complimentary drink and nibbles on arrival. Doors open at 6.30pm. The bar will be open afterwards so we can continue the discussion.
Doors open 6.30pm. Screening commences at 7pm.
