6 Inches of Soil follows a new generation of British farmers working to transform the food system through regenerative agriculture. Set against mounting climate, economic, and ecological pressures, the film highlights how rebuilding healthy soil can restore ecosystems, strengthen local food networks, and create more resilient rural communities.

While the story is rooted in the UK, the challenges it explores: soil degradation, industrial farming practices, farmer financial strain, and the need for climate-resilient food systems—closely mirror those facing agriculture in the United States. Through personal stories and practical examples, the documentary shows how just six inches of healthy soil—the foundation of our food system—can play a powerful role in addressing climate change, biodiversity loss, and food security.

Join us for a post-film discussion with guest speakers from Tree Swallow Farm, who will share insights into local, regenerative farming approaches.
