BACKGROUND
Slow Food's origins date to 1986. It is an Italian movement
cooked up as response to the threat of fast food and the negative
impact of multinational food industries. The aim is to nurture
the link between consumer and producer, to the mutual benefit
of both. The philosophy encourages the micro economies at the
local level.
Practioneers use local seasonal produce and honoring time-tested
methods of production and preparation. It asks producers to
treat animals in an ethical manner and to use environmentally
sustainable farming. These ideals are communicated with the
clients who are considered co-producers.
