Slow Food is an international non-profit organization that was founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.
Today Slow Food has more than 83,000 members in 107 countries around the world.
We believe that the food we eat should taste good; that it should be produced in a clean way that does not harm the environment, animal welfare or human health; that its producers should receive fair remuneration for their work.
Slow Food is a network of producers and co-producers. Food producers are a key part of our movement and very much the inspiration for what we do.
We are co-producers , not consumers, because we bring more to the table than just our appetites. We want to know the people who make our food, know how they make it and what challenges they face in bringing it to us.
We stand behind food producers who care about quality.
