SLOW FOOD USA

Slow Food USA strives to create a world where all people can eat food that is good for them, good for the people who grow it, and good for the planet... The world is in crisis. The economic push for speed, growth and profit has created mega food systems that are unsustainable, lifestyles that feel harried and unhealthy, and a planet groaning under the pressure. Instead of building relationships around food, we make transactions. Instead of making food choices based on flavor and origin, we prioritize convenience. Instead of treating the Earth like the source of all life, we pillage resources from our planet... Slow Food USA unites the joy of food with the pursuit of justice. We cultivate nationwide programs and a network of local chapters, host educational events and advocacy campaigns, and build solidarity through partnerships.
