Slow food

Slow Food is a global grassroots organization that advocates for food that is good, clean, and fair. Founded in Italy in 1986 by Carlo Petrini as a reaction to the growing fast-food culture, Slow Food promotes local food traditions, biodiversity, and sustainable farming practices. The movement has since spread worldwide, with chapters in over 160 countries. Slow Food works to connect consumers with producers, encourage the consumption of local and seasonal foods, and protect the cultural heritage of food through initiatives like the Ark of Taste, which catalogs and supports endangered food products.
