Eating involves making choices which can have far reaching implications. If you consciously choose good, clean and fair food you are well on the way to becoming a 'co-producer' who helps decide what kind of food system we all enjoy and not merely a consumer. Slow Food UK is a catalyst for positive and lasting change for people who seek food which is good, clean and fair. We work to break down barriers to a better understanding and help people make informed choices. We work to raise public awareness about the journey our food takes to reach the table through our educational programmes, taste |
workshops and involvement with schools. We also work to protect and preserve the richness and diversity of our food heritage and promote methods of sustainable agriculture as the foundation of an alternative and more beneficial food system. We pursue our objectives in partnership with a network of dedicated volunteer convivia leaders who cover the whole of the UK. Local convivia spread the principles of Slow Food within their communities and help deliver tangible benefits by engaging with producers, consumers and all with a direct involvement in what we eat and drink. |
