Slow Food
Originally founded in Italy in the 1980s, ‘Slow Food’ is a global, grass-roots movement that links the pleasure of food with a commitment to the community and our environment.
Slow Food Philosophy
Slow Food envisages a world in which everyone can access and enjoy food that is good for them, good for those who grow it and good for the planet. The approach is based on a concept of food that is defined by three connected principles: good, clean and fair:
GOOD: quality, flavoursome and healthy
CLEAN: production that does not harm the environment
FAIR: accessible prices for consumers and fair conditions and pay for producers
Its initial aim was to defend regional traditions, good food, gastronomic pleasure and a slow pace of life. Over the years, the movement has evolved and now represents a global movement involving thousands of projects and millions of people in over 160 countries.
