Description:
Founded in 1989 to prevent the disappearance of local food cultures and traditions and counteract the rise of fast food culture, today Slow Food is a global network of local communities across 160 countries. Slow Food is committed to defending wild and cultivated biodiversity as well as methods of food production, advocacy and education around food and the environment: all in the name of ensuring that everyone has access to good, clean and fair food
Good because it is healthy in addition to tasting good; clean because it is produced with low environmental impact and with animal welfare in mind; and fair because it respects the work of those who produce, process, and distribute it.
Officially launched at Terra Madre 2016, Slow Food Travel offers a new model of tourism. A model aligned with the values of Slow Food, which connects the protagonists of its keys projects (the Presidia, the Ark of Taste, the Cooks’ Alliance, the Food Communities) with the most interesting gastronomic stakeholders in local areas, from hospitality workers to farmers and food artisans. A unique opporunity for travelers and an path towards sustainable development for destinations.
