The magic of MICROBES

How on earth are fish guts and sourdough related? Isabel Pasch, a microbiologist and commercial baker, says the fish microbiome, sourdough bread, the soil, and our own microbiomes, all operate the same way. Understand one, and you can apply the principles to any other.

LOAVES AND FISHES

Isabel’s science background (MSc in biology, specialising in microbiology), led her to pioneering research into the gut biology of fish. That research opened her eyes to the bedrock of health and, as a consequence, into organics.

“Chemicals have no place in food,” Isabel says, “from the growing to the eating.”
