Film Screening in the MacLaren Stuart Room in Old College, University of Edinburgh, South Bridge, Edinburgh, EH8 9YL.
Six Inches of Soil is a British independent full feature documentary shining a spotlight on soil health and regenerative farming. It 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 aims of the film are to sound the alarm on a broken system, but to also give hope that there is a way to fix it; to inspire farmers to adopt agro-ecological and regenerative farming practices; and to encourage consumers, food corporations and policymakers to support their efforts.
The 96 minute film, with its original music score and beautiful animation, was completed at the end of 2023, and was launched at the Oxford Real Farming Conference on 4th January 2024. It was also shown at COP 28 in December 2023 through EIT Food Systems.
There is a 5:30pm start and finished at 9:30pm. This includes the showing of film and discussion with Soil and Climate Scientists from University of Edinburgh, James Hutton Institute and SRUC.
