Slow Food
� Started in Italy in 1989, now spread all over the world:
- more than 100,000 members in 150 countries
- 1,300 "condotte", the local branches
� A network of 2,000 communities
- practice a small-scale, sustainable, quality food production
� The Slow Food philosophy:
- "The defense of quiet material pleasure and slow against the universal
folly of Fast Life"
� Principles:
- GOOD a fresh and flavorsome seasonal diet that satisfies the senses and
is part of our local culture;
- CLEAN food production and consumption that does not harm the
environment, animal welfare or our health;
- FAIR accessible prices for consumers and fair conditions and pay for
small-scale producers.
� The boom in organic farming and the rebirth of local
markets is a fallout of this philosophy
