Welcome to Slow Food Desert Cities

Slow Food is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic member-supported organization that was founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.Today, we have over 80,000 members all over the world. JOIN TODAY!

WHAT WE DO
Taste Education - Good, clean and fair food is only possible with knowledge: the knowledge of those who bring food to the table and the knowledge of those who eat it. Understanding more about our food, how it tastes and where it comes from makes the act of eating all the more pleasurable. Slow Food helps people rediscover the joys of eating and understand the importance of caring where their food comes from.

Convivium Activities - Learning can take place in many ways in a convivium: by visiting an apple orchard or local farm, through food and wine tastings, by inviting a guest speaker or local producer to a dinner.

Taste Workshops - The Slow Food educational style is based on the Taste Workshops – a permanent feature at all large Slow Food events – in which experts teach participants to taste and compare foods and match them with wine and other drinks.
