Six Inches of Soil

6:30PM at The Barn at Avington

Winchester Downs Cluster is delighted to support the screening of this exciting British Documentary.

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, our health and provide for local communities.

The screening will take place at 6.30pm, on 27th September 2024 and will include food before the viewing and a panel discussion after the film.

Our Panel includes; Sarah Langford, farmer and author of “Rooted” and Kim Wilkie, landscape architect, author and environmentalist

Six Inches of Soil follows three new farmers on the first year of their regenerative journey – Anna Jackson, a Lincolnshire 11th generation arable and sheep farmer; Adrienne Gordon, a Cambridgeshire small-scale vegetable farmer; and Ben Thomas, who rears pasture fed beef cattle in Cornwall. As the trio strive to adopt regenerative practices and create viable businesses, they meet seasoned mentors who help them on their journey. They’re joined by other experts providing wisdom and solutions from a growing movement of people who are dedicated to changing the trajectory for food, farming and the planet.

Winchester Downs Cluster group is excited to be hosting this screening to promote the shift to more regenerative practices to support a more resilient system. Many of the cluster members are already engaged with this work and look forward to showing the work to the wider public.
