The sanctity of soil

Today is the day of the UK premiere of Six Inches of Soil (documentary feature film) at the Oxford Real Farming Conference.

The film is described as: “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 throws a timely focus on our soils. In the words of George Monbiot, environmental writer and activist: “Beneath our feet is an ecosystem so astonishing that it tests the limits of our imagination. It’s as diverse as a rainforest or a coral reef. We depend on it for 99% of our food, yet we scarcely know it. Soil.” (source: The Guardian)
