Our Impact
“I’ll never forget my first involvement with Slow Food. It was 2008, and I had been invited to talk at Terra Madre – an event that brings people together from all around the world to share solutions for improving our food system. The experience was electrifying, regenerative and inspirational, giving me the impetus to return to Uganda and strengthen my local network. ”
Edward Mukiibi, Slow Food President
We are at the forefront of humanity’s greatest challenge, and our efforts to secure more sustainable food systems through biodiversity, education and advocacy will determine how we navigate the climate crisis.
Slow Food has had a significant impact across all three pillars of action. We have cataloged 5795 products at risk of extinction by onboarding them onto our Ark of Taste, galvanized more than 68,0000 members in 160 countries to inspire broader behavioral change, and planted over 4000 gardens in Africa.
But the real impact of Slow Food goes beyond the numbers. Our movement’s strength lies in our message to secure good, clean and fair food, in the relationships we cultivate with our international community, and in the focus of our policy to provide producers with a platform.
Below are just a few examples of how Slow Food and its partners are sowing the seeds of change around the world, and nurturing the palate while nourishing the planet.
