Edinburgh City Bread Group Advert

This is an advert created as an exercise during the One Planet Food Summer School. This project has the potential to start in the near future and it would be a great example of shortening the food supply chain and giving more control to people on how food gets from farm to plate, in other words Food Sovereignty!

Project Idea: A group of households in Edinburgh are developing a project to link local wheat growers to bread production and distribution. They aim to recruit at least 200 households which commit to buying 100 loaves per year. The group will buy suitable wheat, organize cleaning and milling on a farm scale, and commission local artisan bakers to bake for them. One distribution option is a social enterprise using bicycles in partnership with the Grassmarket Mission. The group is also exploring a partnership with a social landlord to ensure that the project is inclusive. Reducing waste and distribution costs will help to keep the bread affordable as well as healthy.
