Many of you have been enjoying my Moringa Sourdough since 2021, and it’s about time I share the deeper story behind this special ingredient. Recently, I joined the @chargeincubator program where I’ve been learning about the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These 17 global goals are designed to be a blueprint for a better and more sustainable future for all by 2030.
I’ve been particularly drawn to SDG 10.4, which focuses on adopting policies that promote greater equality. What does this have to do with our bread? Quite a bit, actually!
I source moringa powder from @moringabymoriia, which creates a ripple effect of positive change. By buying moringa from small-scale farmers in Uganda, we’re giving them a vital source of income. These farmers also benefit from using Moringa as a health supplement for their families.
Now for some eco-facts: Moringa is a small tree that fixes its own nitrogen, needing little fertilizer. It’s drought-resistant after about 5 months of growth and can be harvested multiple times a year. More so, it’s a natural barrier against soil erosion, a growing concern due to more frequent extreme weather like droughts and torrential rains.
Incorporating Moringa in our sourdough isn’t just a culinary choice; it’s a commitment to reducing inequality and promoting sustainability, aligning directly with SDG 10.4. 🌍
So when you enjoy a slice of Moringa Sourdough, know that you’re part of a larger movement aiming for a fairer, more equitable world. Swipe ➡️ to take another look at this powerhouse loaf and let’s continue to bake a difference together! 💚
