ORGANIC SCREENING EVENT & PANEL DISCUSSION
Tickets for this event are $20pp - From 6.30pm on Tuesday 7th of May 24.
As part of Organic Week Aotearoa we're hosting the Six Inches of Soil feature documentary followed by panel & audience discussion on the issues the movie brings up, and how organics and regenerative practices can be further enhanced in Akaroa.
Six Inches of Soil is a British independent full feature documentary shining a spotlight on soil health and regenerative farming. It tells the inspiring story of young British farmers standing up against the industrial food system and transforming the way they produce food - to heal the soil, our health and provide for local communities.
Six Inches of Soil is a story of 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.
The aims of the film are to sound the alarm on a broken system, but to also give hope that there is a way to fix it; to inspire farmers to adopt agroecological and regenerative farming practices; and to encourage consumers, food corporations and policymakers to support their efforts.
