Slow Food SA

Hello, I am sharing the humbling news that I am SLOW FOOD SA’s newly elected Leader.

Slow Food South Australia is part of the global Slow Food network that has grown into a movement involving millions of people in over 160 countries.

Founded in 1989 by Italian journalist and environmental activist Carlo Petrini, Slow Food is a non-profit, grassroots organisation that aims 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 and how it tastes.

The Slow Food approach aims to preserve traditional foods and regional food cultures by supporting the production of food that is good, clean and fair.

GOOD:

Quality, flavoursome and healthy food that satisfies the senses and is part of local culture.

CLEAN:

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 producers.

More information on the Slow Food good, clean and fair philosophy can be found in the Slow Food Manifesto for Quality - View Here

My own personal mission is to introduce the very young to incorporating SLOW FOOD values into their lives.

Let me introduce you to the Primary Schools Curriculum

We also have produced an early years unit on establishing a FIRST GARDEN.
