Using the supersymmetry and R-breaking mechanism induced by N=1 supergravity, we develop the minimal flavon-chromon preonic model where spin-12 and spin-0 components of four preonic chiral multiplets correspond to flavons and chromons, from which quarks and leptons are made as composites. The emergence of the concepts of flavour and colour, in this minimal model, is synonymous with R and supersymmetry breaking. This breaking also gives a heavy mass to the gaugino, which is necessary for the implementation of the model.
