Land owners, farmers and community members are invited to attend the showing of the heralded ‘6 Inches of Soil’ film, championing a sustainable/regenerative approach to agriculture.

The film is an educational and stimulating documentary telling the story of farmers and communities embracing a more sustainable approach to agriculture where precious on-farm resources and the environment are protected and enhanced while delivering healthy food.

Given that 30% of the world’s cropland has become unproductive in the last 40 years, this approach to farm management is long overdue and provides practical examples of how to manage our precious “6 inches of soil”, or in Macclesfield’s case perhaps 4” or less of soil.

Following the film a panel discussion with experienced land carers and experts on sustainable agriculture will answer questions and discuss the relevance and local implications of this film.

Why should this film be of interest to me?
