Breadfam! We have a brand-new member organisation in the Solidarity Fund!

Please welcome Traditional Dream Factory!

Traditional Dream Factory (TDF) is a regenerative project in the Alentejo region of Portugal. They're one part nature conservation and rewilding, one part regenerative agriculture and ecotourism, and one part rethinking our entire relationship with land and ownership. Founded by Samuel Delesque nearly 6 years ago, what started out as an abandoned chicken farm has turned into a way to reconnect with the natural world, away from the mayhem of city life.

They embrace an active approach to land regeneration, aiming for measurable improvements to soil and water quality alongside the biodiversity on their premises. TDF is the first of our member organisations to have their own token, aptly named $TDF. Like BREAD, it's a governance token. Holding it gives you a vote in how TDF is run, the same way baking BREAD gives you a say in the Solidarity Fund.

The token also reflects a stake in a real, physical place, with each $TDF granting you a night per year at the TDF premises in Portugal. There's a lot more to say about their organisation and token, and we'll get into it in a future article. If you don't want to wait, their docs lay it all out.

TDF's arrival brings the number of members in the Solidarity Fund to 8. And just like the organisations who have been with us on the journey so far, their presence pushes the ceiling of possibilities for what we can achieve.

For now, there are a few ways to show up:

• Head over to TDF to get to know them and what they are building. Don't forget to sign up to their newsletter, and follow them on Instagram, Twitter, and their blog to show your support.

• Visit the Bread Solidarity Fund to bake some BREAD and generate yield that supports TDF and every other member project.

• Share this update in your own network. It helps reach the people who need to hear it.

Solidarity forever 🍞
