Six Inches of Soil: How to Heal Our Soils, Ourselves and Our Communities Through Regenerative Farming Paperback -

by Jeremy Toynbee (Editor); Priya Kalia (Editor); Molly Foster (Editor)


From the publisher

Six Inches of Soil the film and this companion book is the inspiring story of British farmers standing up to the industrial food system and transforming the way they produce food - to heal the soil, benefit our health and provide for local communities. It will be of great interest to those in farming, food production and anyone who eats. Through detailed interviews with three remarkable new farmers in the first year of their regenerative journey, industry experts and leading lights in the movement for change, Six Inches of Soil explores the connection between food and health, food poverty and affordability, the role of animals in the farming system, Britain's hugely unequal system of land ownership, barriers to new entrant farmers especially from diverse backgrounds and whether there is a place for carbon offsetting on farms. It brings to life what it feels like to farm agroecologically - to farm with authentic connection with the land, changing seasons and the environment, to produce food for people you know and care about in the local community: to spend your days with your hands in the soil.

About the author

Jeremy Toynbee had his hands in the soil studying archaeology at Trinity College, University of Wales. He then followed a love of books and reading into publishing. As an editor, he has been polishing the words of others and shaping them into books for over 25 years.

He was consulting for 5m Books when the opportunity arose to buy it in 2020. Priya Kalia is a biologist with over 12 years' experience in regenerative medicine research, where she studied how to repair the body when it's ill, injured or ageing. During her time in research, she learned about how food and its micronutrients can positively affect our bodies. Priya studied Molecular Biology and Genetics at the University of Toronto, Canada, has a PhD from University College London, and carried out postdoctoral research at the University of Cambridge and Kings College London. She runs a strategic communications and content advisory firm, Scitribe. Molly Foster is an interdisciplinary researcher whose interests relate to food and farming sustainability.

Essex: 5M Books Ltd 2024. 8vo. xii, 348 pp. Illustrated softcover with photographic paste-downs. 'How has it come to this point in history that we hardly value the food we eat and the soil that it's grown in?' This book addresses the ecological costs of industrial farming: how it has impacted animals, the environment, farmers and the way we eat. It tells the story of three British farmers transforming the way they produce food. Other experts consider agroecological farming systems and soil science; the issues of land use, greenwashing, subsidies, food security; and provide examples of agroforestry applications and farm enterprise stacking and diversification. Six Inches of Soil, the film and this companion book, is the inspiring story of three British farmers standing up to the industrial food system and transforming the way they produce food – to heal the soil, benefit our health and provide for local communities. 9781917159005 .
