Slow Food UK is the British arm of the international Slow Food movement
which was founded 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. It believes that food should be Good, Clean
and Fair: in other words, it should taste good, respect the environment,
and pay a fair price to producers. Today, the movement has more than 83,000 members in over 120 countries worldwide, including 2300 members in Britain who gather together with their local convivium (group of members) to organise a variety of events aimed at celebrating and protecting the traditional foods of their region, giving visibility to small-scale farmers, fishermen, growers and other artisan producers, and developing taste education with both children and adults.
