Green Ixworth presents “Six Inches of Soil”

Six Inches of Soil: “Despite all our accomplishments, we owe our existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.” These words were spoken by Paul Harvey, an American radio broadcaster, and perfectly encapsulate the often overlooked role of soil for sustaining our civilisation.

Since it screened at Cop28, Six Inches of Soil, a documentary from Colin Ramsay, has drawn the attention of heavyweights across the food and farming industries. But this magnificent film, following the journeys of three young farmers practising regenerative agriculture, illustrates the necessity, benefits, challenges and also the joys of working with nature to feed and sustain us all.

Green Ixworth are showing “Six Inches of Soil” in conjunction with Suffolk Wildlife Trust and the Friends of Ixworth Library at Ixworth Village Hall on Saturday 13th September at 2.30 pm. It will be followed by a Q & A type discussion and Refreshments will be available.
