Join archaeobotanist Professor Martin Jones, plant scientist Dr Lydia Smith, and a local artisan baker Alison McTaggart for a lively discussion about our daily bread and to ask the question: what are we eating and how has it changed over time?
Bread is a staple food that has been eaten around the world throughout recorded history. Since the invention of the Chorleywood process in 1960’s, modern ingredients and methods of mass production have completely transformed it.
This public event is part of the Cambridge Science Festival 2017. Come prepared for a lively discussion!
