“I have been very impressed by the Slow Food movement. It is about celebrating the culture of food, of sharing the extraordinary knowledge, developed over millennia, of the traditions involved with quality food production, of the sheer joy and pleasure of consuming food together. Especially within the context of family life, this has to be one of the highest forms of cultural activity.”

“Flavor was the most important thing to me, and the Slow Food movement is connecting with these organic farmers that made Chez Panisse what it is. It’s not just about California, but about the local rightness of food. It’s understanding the big picture of farming, and how it addresses climate and health. Eating should be a seasonal experience.”

“The consistent and credible position of Slow Food as an organization that is looking for change on behalf of grass roots Food System Stakeholders gives it a distinctive position and has helped it to influence the ongoing development of European food and farming policies.”

“The support from Slow Food over the years has been consistent and critical; without them, we would have given up.”

“The biocultural heritage of indigenous and local communities is a central component in addressing the planet’s socio-environmental crisis. As an evaluation team, we believe that Slow Food is working to fulfill its commitment to improve the social, economic, and health conditions of the communities that adopt its projects through culturally appropriate activities that promote food sovereignty based on the revaluation of biocultural elements. The results of our evaluation of the activities carried out in Mexico confirm the impact of Slow Food’s activities on the revaluation of practices and knowledge related to production systems that promote the in situ conservation of agrobiodiversity, closely associated, while also ensuring the gradual adaptation of agricultural diversity to adverse climatic conditions, through the promotion of diversified landscape management and the empowerment of participating groups”.
