Good, Clean & Fair

Food should taste GOOD: the fast world's obsessions with unnecessary industrialisation, excessive food miles, standardisation and homogeneity very often result in bland food that simply doesn't taste as good as food that has been produced locally with care, pride and passion.

Food should be CLEAN: it should be produced in a sustainable way, without any negative impact on our environment, and with a minimum of artificial intervention.

Food should be produced in a FAIR way: its producers should not be exploited but should be paid a fair amount for their skill and labour.

None of this means that Slow Food is against progress or technological advances. Far from it, Slow Food is a truly progressive concept that seeks to utilise mankind's ever-expanding knowledge base to retain and develop the diversity of all that is best in our world heritage.

What does Slow Food do?

Locally: We depend upon our dedicated volunteers. There is a network of local groups throughout the United Kingdom, and our volunteers are committed to spreading the principles of Slow Food within their communities, engaging with producers, and organising educational and convivial events.
