Slow Food is a non-profit eco-gastronomic organisation established in 1989 against proliferation of fast food and the disappearance of local food traditions. Today, together with the network of Terra Madre, founded as a subsidiary project, it brings together around the world thousands of people: the direct producers (peasants, fishers, pastoralists, gatherers), restaurateurs and chefs, as well as researchers and journalists. Combining elements of social, occupational and environmental activism with research and cultural-educational work, the organisation maintains and studies traditions of production, preparation and consumption of food (through a network of so-called presidia and the “Ark of Taste” project), and defends the value of biological and cultural diversity, sustainable development, ecological economy and social justice. Slow Food’s scholarly and educational activity relies on its University of Gastronomic Sciences. The organisation is an element of the so-called “Slow movement” that advocates improving the quality of life (in contrast to mere quantitative growth), respect for individuality, diversity, cultural and natural heritage. The work of the Association has been widely publicized in mass media, spreading culinary knowledge generated over centuries, helps to awaken the population of interest in its history and desire to preserve traditions developed.
