FoodWise Leeds and Feed Leeds are hosting a screening of the eagerly anticipated documentary film Six Inches of Soil – a story of courage, vision and hope. The inspiring story of British farmers standing up against the industrial food system and transforming the way they produce food - to heal the soil, benefit our health and provide for local communities.

The screening will take place at HEART on Friday 10 May 6-9m. Doors open at 6pm, film starts at 6:30pm with panel discussion to follow.

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.

Sonja Woodcock, FoodWise Leeds says:

“We are really excited to showing this film and engaging in conversation about how food is grown and produced in Britain. It is so important that we shift towards more regenerative, agroecological practices to ensure a more resilient food system. We look forward to welcoming you to watch this important film and engage in conversation about how we can do food and farming better here in Leeds and the surrounding area.”

There is no charge to attend the screening but we are asking people to make a donation on the door.
