Exploring Our Daily Bread

In a world where millions go hungry and an almost equal number struggle with obesity, this day will look at some of the issues involved. It will explore our relationship with food - where it comes from, how it is produced, how we can feed a world population of 7 billion and how we can adjust our patterns of growing, preparing and eating. A lunch of bread and soup will be provided, with a suggested donation of £10. 10.00-4.00 Hilfield Friary, near Dorchester.
