Description
Consistency is at the heart of industrial bread production, from the field to the mill to the oven. But what is it costing us?
This series is in response to the Body Lab, a participatory arts and research project by baker Kimberly Bell (@smallfoodbakery) and artist Ruth Levene (@leveneruth) which explores the industrial processes of grain testing. Over three episodes, Lucy Dearlove explores what the body lab is, what the work around it has entailed so far, and what the outcomes might be.
The Body Lab is funded by Farming the Future.
Thanks to Shipton Mill for their openness and generosity in allowing the Body Lab to explore these ideas.
This series was produced by Lucy Dearlove and is published on Farmerama and Lecker.
