Six Inches of Soil

The 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. It is a story of courage, vision and hope.
It follows three new farmers on the first year of their regenerative journey to heal the soil and
help transform the food system – 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. They are 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.
Director Colin Ramsay and Producer Claire Mackenzie have made the film with a small
committed team around them and vast amounts of input and help from individuals and
organisations around the world.
