Food for Change Campaign
Let’s work together to cultivate solutions to climate change.
Food is both cause and victim of climate change, but also a possible solution. Our food choices have a direct impact on the future of the planet.
The Campaign
Slow Food’s international “Food for Change” campaign has been launched to offer solutions starting from our everyday actions and to support our international projects, which through our network strengthen clean local economies, fair trade and foods that are part of our heritage. Food must be both a pleasure and a way to care for our planet.
