Six Inches of Soil Screening & Panel
Basement Beer
Address:
Basement Beer, Stokes Croft, Bristol, BS2 8QN
Join us for a film screening of Six Inches of Soil, followed by a panel discussion with 3 local growers: Noah Cooper, Project Lead at Edible Bristol and Ambassador at Soil Association; Alex Goodman, Head Gardener at Garden Folk CIC; Laura Bottin, Land Management Officer at Grow Wilder, moderated by Charlotte Jackson, Bristol Good Food 2030 Comms & Engagement Coordinator.
Six Inches of Soil follows 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 film follows the highs and lows of three new farmers on 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 livestock in Cornwall. As the trio of young farmers strive to adopt regenerative practices and create viable businesses, they meet seasoned mentors who help them on their journey. 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.
Tickets include entry for the film and panel, and a complimentary drink – a choice of one of Basement Beer’s ales or beers brewed in-house with sustainably sourced hops and grains, or a soft drink. Tickets are available via Headfirst, click “more info” for the ticket link.
