Slow Food UK works to ensure good, clean and fair food is a right for everyone. By good, clean and fair we mean that our food should taste good, that it should be produced in a clean way which fully respects the environment, human health and animal welfare, and that food producers are paid a fair wage. We work to raise awareness on the sustainability and social justice issues surrounding the food we eat and aim to protect traditional UK foods, defend biodiversity and promote food education.
'Today, restoring food - debased along with its overseers, exploited as a tool of control and global power - to its central role in our passage through the world is an act of great political relevance. To some extent, it is a revolutionary act'. Carlo Petrini, Founder of the Slow Food movement. Slow Food is a non-profit, member-supported organisation. It 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 food choices affect the rest of the world. Slow Food campaigns for good, clean and fair food. By good, clean and fair we mean that our food should taste good, that it should be produced in a clean way which fully respects the environment, human health and animal welfare, and that food producers are paid a fair wage. Slow Food, by working hand in hand with dedicated grassroots volunteer members (convened in member groups), aims to raise awareness about the sustainability of our food systems and social justice issues surrounding the food we eat. Today we have over 100,000 members in 132 countries. Our work brings systemic change to communities around the world creating a new awareness and behaviour changes through projects that involve both producers and consumers.
