Empowering change
So we created a new systems to democratise the way flour is produced, and the way we incorporate diversity into our diet to support gut health and mental health, and when you start to understand how bread is impactful to health you will also learn that the nutritional and ethical values of your bread starts with your.
One of the most powerful ways that you can change the balance of food inequality is in building direct relationships with the farmers.
Our farmers are caught in a system. Staggering monopolies dominate the global food supply, through controlling seeds control over seeds is, in many ways, control over the food supply, and how our grain is grown. Part of our work in democratising bread is in supporting seed activism over the past twenty years, supporting a paradigm shift to the farmers’ rights to seed sovereignty.
Farmers take care of the soil.
Our farmers keep everyone fed and watered, but they also play a vital role in the economy and provide essential employment for people in rural communities. Farming and the agricultural industry as a whole is actually one of the main sources of employment in many rural area's. The current inflationary environment has made rising input costs a major concern. Farmers take care of the soil, they conserve our water resources and look after the wildlife and they're the caretakers of the planet.
The profit is low in farming, and growing food is high risk. It is a complex problem as they are coping with climate change, soil erosion and biodiversity loss. The concept of 'milling a meadow' is about a systems change. It is about connecting to each other and about supporting diversity, that is nourishing for both us and the planet. So we have created a central database, where bakers all over the world can share knowledge of where to buy ingredients directly from farmers and growers and cooperatives, to find the ingredients to create your own botanical blends.
