Connecting Travelers With Local Food Systems: Raise awareness among citizen-consumers and visitors of Slow Food Travel destinations about how to actively participate in creating better food systems through production, promotion, and consumption.
Growing our Community For Good, Clean, and Fair Food: Generate global impact via the Slow Food movement by inspiring Slow Food Travel stakeholders and visitors at the destination to join the Slow Food movement.
