R2Kast 283 - Claire MacKenzie on Rural Education, Six Inches of Soil, and Food Advocacy
Description
Today we welcome Claire MacKenzie onto the R2Kast. Claire, alongside Olivia Shave and me, is championing the embedding of rural education into the UK curriculum. We are driving forward a petition to make this a reality, which you can find and sign here: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/700029. 📜
Claire shares her fascinating journey, starting in politics and media before transitioning to rural advocacy. As the co-creator of Six Inches of Soil, a documentary exploring regenerative farming and the importance of healthy soil, she brings powerful insights into the interconnectedness of food production, sustainability, and education. 🎥
Her work with Six Inches of Soil is deeply tied to grassroots movements, engaging communities to support local farmers and sustainable food systems. Claire’s passion for change, coupled with her ability to communicate complex issues, has made her a driving force in rural education advocacy. 🌱
Claire’s involvement in our petition reflects her unwavering belief that understanding food systems is essential. By embedding these lessons into the curriculum, we aim to empower future generations to value and engage with the food and farming sector from an early age. Together, we’re paving the way for a more connected and informed society. 🌍
Enjoy!
Thanks to Howden Rural for the support.
