Slow Food International Association is a global, grassroots organization, based in Bra (Italy), which counts 100.000 members and one million supporters in 160 countries around the world. Slow Food acts as an umbrella organization for its local groups (“convivia”) that work to promote a new food system that changes the food production and consumption relations in both global North and global South. Slow Food pursues cultural, environmental and social goals built around the right to food, food sovereignty and biodiversity protection. The two local manifestations studies in depth are located in Spain and Germany.
Relevance for TRANSIT
Slow Food is a International association founded to counter the rise of fast food and fast life. Slow Food demands a shift of paradigm towards a new food system, based on the defense of biodiversity, respect for local cultures and community empowerment. Slow Food envisions a world in which all people can access and enjoy quality food produced in a sustainable and fair way.
