Slow Food Movement Resources

Slow Food USA
Slow Food is an idea, a way of living and a way of eating. It is a global, grassroots movement with thousands of members around the world that links the pleasure of food with a commitment to community and the environment.

Slow Food International
Philosophy of the organization: “Slow Food is good, clean and fair food. 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 our health; and that food producers should receive fair compensation for their work.”

The Meaning of Food – A PBS documentary
“The Meaning of Food" is an exploration of culture through food. What we consume, how we acquire it, who prepares it, who’s at the table, and who eats first is a form of communication that is rich with meaning.

What one city is doing: Slow Food Seattle
Across the nation, and across the world, Slow Food is working hard to preserve and protect local foods and food traditions. More than 80,000 members in over 130 countries across the world have become co-producers, not consumers, because by being informed about how our food is produced and actively supporting those who produce it, we become a partner in the production process.
