Slow Food: a great international movement born between the Langhe and Roero

Slow Food is a great international movement, born in Bra, in Piedmont, in 1986. Throughout its history, it has carried out over 10,000 projects in 160 countries and can count on one million activists.

With full awareness of the climate and environmental crises and their economic, social and health consequences, Slow Food today acts through its projects and networks, inviting everyone to give a sign of hope and to make a choice of individual and collective well-being: to feel good about ourselves, to be better together with those close to us, people but also other living beings. Having an ecosystem-friendly and resilient approach improves the quality of our lives and those around us first and foremost.

I progetti di Slow Food

Relying on a global network of conduits, communities and thematic networks, the slow movement fights for the defense of biodiversity, promoting taste education and dialog between civil society and institutions. The basis of Slow Food’s work is the safeguarding of products and production techniques (Presìdi, Arca del Gusto) supported also through storytelling and promotion in the world of catering, through the construction of a relationship of trust and mutual support between producers and chefs (Alleanza dei Cuochi). The association also works every day to shorten the supply chain between those who produce and those who consume through the Markets of the Land and deals with “taste education” with the Slow Food Gardens, the Food to Action Academy and the Popular Academy of Taste.

The network and the themes

Slow Food’s actions are carried out through thematic networks (Slow Olive, Slow Grains, Slow Beans, Castanicoltori), le international coalitions (Slow Food Coffee Coalition, Slow Wine Coalition, Migrant Network), the Slow Food Youth Network of young activists and campaigns (come Slow Fish, Slow Cheese, Slow Meat,Slow Bees, Cibo e salute), thanks to which we bring the demands of the world of production and the demand for consumer rights to EU institutions.

The events

Slow Food organizza ogni anno, dal 2004, eventi e manifestazioni internazionali per unire i produttori di tutto il mondo e condividere la passione, la cultura e il rispetto della biodiversità alimentare: Terra Madre Salone del Gusto a Torino, Slow Fish a Genova e Cheese a Bra.

Tanti gli appuntamenti a cui partecipare, come conferenze, Laboratori del Gusto, street food e gli Appuntamenti a Tavola organizzati presso il Ristorante Garden.
