What is Slow Food?

As a local chapter of Slow Food USA, we seek to create dramatic and lasting change in the food system. SFNNJ wants to connect with the people, traditions, plants,  animals, fertile soils and waters that produce our food. We inspire  individuals and communities to change the world through food that is good, clean and fair for all:

GOOD

• Believe in delicious nutrition as a right for everyday life
• Cultivate joyful connections to community and place
• Advocate for diversity in ecosystems and societies

CLEAN

• Protect natural resources for future generations
• Help people and the environment depend on each other
• Promote food that is local, seasonal, and sustainably grown

FAIR

• Build local cooperation and global collaboration while respecting all laws
• Require no prerequisite or credential for participation
• Fight for dignity of labor from field to fork
