How you become part of a system change programme

From Soil to Slice - every hand that touches the bread is part of the story.

The image shows a large brown paper bag labeled "Botanical Blend no. 2" from The Sourdough School. The bag appears slightly crumpled, giving it a natural, handcrafted look. The label includes text indicating that it is a blend of wholegrain flours. The bag sits on a wooden countertop, and the background is softly blurred.

Botanical Blend Flour – Supporting diversity in the gut, and diversity in the environment.

That’s refreshing – how we use tuition your fees to fund systems change through education

Understanding that all parts of the system are Connected is key to making the healthiest bread
