The Price of Consistency (Good Bread #2)

Consistency is at the heart of industrial bread production, from the field to the mill to the oven. But what is it costing us?

Good Bread is a three part series made with Farmerama exploring The Body Lab, a participatory arts and research project by baker Kimberley Bell and artist Ruth Levene considering standardised grain testing and the possibility of reimagining measurement within the system that surrounds bread production.

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

Good Bread is hosted and produced by Lucy Dearlove.

Thanks to everyone at Farmerama who has helped on this series in various ways: Jo Barratt, Abby Rose, Dora Taylor, Olivia Oldham, Annie Landless, Eliza Jenkins and Lucy Fisher. The music is by Owen Barratt. The artwork was by Hannah Grace. 

If you haven't already listened to Cereal the previous Farmerama series about bread made by Katie Revel, I can't recommend it highly enough!
