Slow
Food
Slow Food is an educational organization with
65,000 members worldwide. Throughout 45 countries, each local convivium across
the globe is dedicated to stewardship of the land and ecologically sound food
production; to the revival of the kitchen and the table as centers of pleasure,
culture, and community; and to living a slower and more harmonious rhythm
of life. Slow Food recognizes that the enjoyment of wholesome food
is essential to the pursuit of happiness; respects and supports food artisans,
growers and producers; and promotes pure foods that are local, seasonal and
organically grown. The Slow Food Education Committee is embarked on a nationwide
program of creating school gardens modeled after Alice Waters' Edible Schoolyard.
