Slow Food brings ‘good, clean and fair' to issues such as GMOs, sustainable fish consumption and land grabbing through our campaigns which highlight a wide range of considerations - cultural, social, economic, environmental and gastronomic.
Therefore, our battle to protect raw milk cheeses not only focuses on the taste and diversity of these products, but also highlights the traditions associated with them, landscapes and local economies which rely upon them and the environmental benefits of shepherding. Similarly, our Slow Fish campaign focuses not only on marine ecology but on helping consumers to understand how to choose fish that tastes good, is fished sustainably and supports local, artisinal fishers.
As a grassroots organization with a focus on bringing together responsibility and pleasure, our campaigns aim to involve as many people as possible in ways that will be meaningful and enjoyable to them. In 2009 more than 1,000 communities in 120 countries promoted the value of eating local food to their communities and decision makers when they celebrated the first Terra Madre Day. And our campaigns happen at all levels, from a local film screening on GMOs to a regional protest against local laws to participating in the European GMO-free Regions Network. Join us in confronting some of today's key issues for the future of food, and in finding pleasurable, relevant ways to promote good, clean and fair food production and small-scale producers.
