Henbant to Screen Exciting New British Documentary

Six Inches of Soil

Henbant is announcing a screening of the eagerly anticipated documentary film, Six Inches of Soil. The film 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. The screening will take place at 7pm on the 18^th of May (following on from Agroforestry Open Weekend) with Beef and Veg Stew available at 6pm and a panel discussion to follow the film.

Six Inches of Soil follows three new farmers on the first year of 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 cattle in Cornwall. As the trio strive to adopt regenerative practices and create viable businesses, they meet seasoned mentors who help them on their journey. They’re 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.

Matt, Henbant says “We’re excited to host this screening and to share the positive messages in the film to help shift UK food and farming towards more regenerative, agroecological practices for a more resilient system. We’re excited for the event and can’t wait to see the ideas and thoughts that come from the meaningful discussions that will follow the screening.”

Claire Mackenzie, Six Inches of Soil Producer adds, “Community screenings are a hugely important part of our impact campaign. We’re so excited that Henbant is hosting this event, it’s really important that people have discussions at a local level to find ways to move forward to create profitable food systems that benefit the community whilst looking after our soil and the environment in the best possible way.”

All Profits from the Event will go into Dysgu @ Henbant CIC, Our new Community Interest Company helping establish training for future agroecological farmers in North Wales and Beyond..

About Six Inches of Soil:

Six Inches of Soil is the first full-length campaigning documentary feature film that tells the untold story of the UK's regenerative and agroecology movement and its benefits to soil. With the first global screening at COP28 and UK screening at ORFC 2024, the film aims to inspire UK farmers to adopt regenerative agroecological farming practices and encourage consumers and policymakers to support their efforts. With a compelling narrative, engaging animations and interviews with leading figures, it tells the story of our soils and our food and farming system through the eyes of three new- entrant farmers and examines how we can replace this with a resilient and localised agroecosystem.

The aim is to inspire farmers with the confidence to shift to a more regenerative mindset and approach; to give consumers the impetus and information to rethink their food choices; and ultimately create a groundswell of public opinion leading to policy change, support and funding for a British regenerative farming and agroecological revolution.

Chwe Modfedd o Bridd

Mae Henbant yn cyhoeddi dangosiad o’r ffilm ddogfen y bu disgwyl mawr amdani, Six Inches of Soil. Mae’r ffilm yn adrodd stori ysbrydoledig ffermwyr ifanc Prydain yn sefyll yn gadarn yn erbyn y system fwyd ddiwydiannol ac yn trawsnewid y ffordd y maent yn cynhyrchu bwyd – i wella’r pridd, ein hiechyd a darparu ar gyfer cymunedau lleol.

Mae Six Inches of Soil yn dilyn tri ffermwr newydd ar flwyddyn gyntaf eu taith adfywiol - Anna Jackson, ffermwr âr a defaid o'r 11eg genhedlaeth o Swydd Lincoln; Adrienne Gordon, ffermwr llysiau ar raddfa fach o Swydd Gaergrawnt; a Ben Thomas, sy'n magu gwartheg bîff yng Nghernyw sy'n magu porfa. Wrth i’r triawd ymdrechu i fabwysiadu arferion adfywiol a chreu busnesau hyfyw, maent yn cyfarfod â mentoriaid profiadol sy’n eu helpu ar eu taith. Yn ymuno â nhw mae arbenigwyr eraill sy'n darparu doethineb ac atebion gan fudiad cynyddol o bobl sy'n ymroddedig i newid y llwybr ar gyfer bwyd, ffermio a'r blaned.

Meddai Matt, Henbant “Rydym yn gyffrous i gynnal y dangosiad hwn ac i rannu’r negeseuon cadarnhaol yn y ffilm i helpu i symud bwyd a ffermio’r DU tuag at arferion agroecolegol mwy adfywiol ar gyfer system fwy gwydn. Rydyn ni'n gyffrous am y digwyddiad ac yn edrych ymlaen at weld y syniadau a'r meddyliau a ddaw o'r trafodaethau ystyrlon a fydd yn dilyn y dangosiad."

Tua chwe modfedd o bridd:

Six Inches of Soil yw'r ffilm nodwedd ymgyrchu lawn gyntaf sy'n adrodd hanes mudiad adfywiol ac agroecoleg y DU a'i fanteision i'r pridd. Gyda’r dangosiad byd-eang cyntaf yn COP28 a dangosiad y DU yn ORFC 2024, nod y ffilm yw ysbrydoli ffermwyr y DU i fabwysiadu arferion ffermio agroecolegol adfywiol ac annog defnyddwyr a llunwyr polisi i gefnogi eu hymdrechion. Gyda naratif cymhellol, animeiddiadau atyniadol a chyfweliadau â ffigurau blaenllaw, mae’n adrodd hanes ein priddoedd a’n system bwyd a ffermio trwy lygaid tri ffermwr newydd-ddyfodiaid ac yn archwilio sut y gallwn ddisodli hwn â system amaeth-ecosystem gydnerth a lleol.

Y nod yw ysbrydoli ffermwyr gyda'r hyder i symud i feddylfryd a dull mwy adfywiol; rhoi'r ysgogiad a'r wybodaeth i ddefnyddwyr ailfeddwl am eu dewisiadau bwyd; ac yn y pen draw yn creu sylfaen o farn y cyhoedd yn arwain at newid polisi, cefnogaeth a chyllid ar gyfer ffermio adfywiol Prydeinig a chwyldro agroecolegol.
