Six Inches of Soil: How to Heal Our Soils, Ourselves, and Our Communities through Regenerative Farming

Six Inches of Soil, a film and this companion book, tells the inspiring story of British farmers who defy the industrial food system and transform their farming practices to heal the soil, benefit health, and support local communities. It’s relevant to farmers, food producers, and anyone who eats.

Through interviews with three remarkable farmers, industry experts, and leading change-makers, the book explores the connection between food and health, food poverty and affordability, the role of animals in farming, Britain’s unequal land ownership system, barriers to new farmers, and the potential of carbon offsetting on farms. It captures the essence of agroecological farming—a deep connection to the land, changing seasons, and the environment, producing food for local communities.
