Soil has had a sexy makeover – and everyone – from super models to pop stars – is getting down and dirty in it. But will a fledgling campaign help us all get involved to save our soil and therefore ourselves?

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. It tells the story of three young farmers practising regenerative agriculture, and examines how to break the monopoly of huge retailers to move towards a set of resilient and localised agroecosystems that benefit both biodiversity and the climate.

Tomorrow, 30th April 2024, the Six Inches of Soil book is available to buy! This Farmers Guardian article by our Director Colin Ramsay highlights the book and explains the huge importance of the soil beneath our feet.
