Slow Food believes food is tied to many other aspects of life including culture politics agriculture and the environment. Through our food choices we can collectively influence how food is cultivated produced and distributed and change the world as a result. Slow Food is a global grassroots organization founded in 1989 to prevent the disappearance of local food cultures and traditions counteract the rise of fast life and enhance peoples interest in the food they eat where it comes from and how our food choices affect the world around us.
