Six Inches of Soil

Six Inches of Soil: a documentary feature film a story of courage, vision and hope.

Our film, 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.

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. 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. 

Agroecology may also be our best chance in the face of climate change: it keeps carbon in the ground and creates resilient systems in the face of climate uncertainty.

The showing of the film is a collaboration between the Cholsey Environment Champions, OX10, Sustainable Wallingford and CCDT. Admission is free. The film will followed by a discussion about how we can encourage local, sustainable food in the area.
