In this episode, Daniel Griffith and Rupert Dunn discuss the inspiration of peasant baking and wilding and the impact both of these paradigms have on their lives. They explore Rupert's background and journey, including his move to Lithuania with his family. The conversation delves into the tension between wild and agricultural food production and the importance of the alchemy and transformation, the basis of relationship and food.
Daniel and Rupert also discuss the heart of the harvest and the difference between being and doing. They explore the impact of property rights on food production; the relationship between transformation and time, emphasizing the need for a holistic understanding of the world; the negative effects of maximizing production and the importance of how food is produced; and the nuances of nutrient density in meat, highlighting the impact of stress and biodiversity.
The conversation also touches on the occupation of consumerist values and the desire for freedom and choice. The difference between independence and interdependence. It concludes with the need to de-mechanize our understanding of food production and the importance of intentionality through the metaphor of the washing machine.
Rupert is available to support farmers, individuals and organizations with advice, mentoring and support with sourcing, growing, milling and baking with heritage grains as well as the design for regenerative cultures for organizations. He can be contacted at panisvita@protonmail.com where you can also pre-register for a copy of the 'Peasant Bakery Toolkit'.
