More and more young people are eager to learn artisanal knowledge and skills so they can create products independently. Mastering the underlying techniques and processes contributes to a sense of self-worth and autonomy. At Baking Lab, we contribute in a unique way to the revival of traditional craftsmanship.
Educational Bakery
Behind the simplicity of bread lie complex biological, chemical, and physical processes. Yet baking bread is not difficult—but also not exactly a ‘piece of cake.’ Why is that? Over the past decades, much research has been done on this. At our LAB, we explore this research. Together with the students working with us, we share our findings through workshops and educational programs with a wide audience. In this way, students, graduates, and other team members can contribute to artisanal knowledge and skills in a creative way—closely connected to pressing social themes like food, health, and sustainability.
Reducing Food Waste
Preventing food waste is not only practical, it’s also an inspiring training model for promoting circular innovation in general. Finding creative ways to prevent waste encourages us to think beyond the obvious—far beyond just the food sector.
Within our School for Circular Innovation, our team also works on educational programs that actively reduce food waste. This challenge not only inspires but also shows that reducing food waste goes hand in hand with creating healthier and more sustainable food systems.
Team
Our team consists of people from diverse backgrounds, including biology, art, food, health sciences, and computer science. They are challenged to build creative bridges between traditional artisanal techniques and modern scientific knowledge—and to translate these into informal educational programs.
