We Are Carbon

In Conversation with Claire Mackenzie - Producer; Six Inches Of Soil


Listen Later

I'm delighted to be joined by Claire Mackenzie for a conversation focused on soil!

Claire is the producer of the documentary 'Six Inches Of Soil' and she helps us to get a grasp of this significant topic.

We discuss why the way that we farm impacts our soils, and why the health of those soils is so important to our futures.

We also touch on some politics, the challenges and need for change and the joy and transformation that regenerative farming can bring to people alongside the land.
