Slow Food
Last Updated February 21, 2019
Why We Love It: Slow Food is the only grassroots organization working with members and volunteers locally, nationally and internationally to link the pleasures of good food with a commitment to community and the environment.
Active in more than 150 countries, their global mission is good, clean and fair food for all. For more information on the local Phoenix chapter, see http://facebook.com/slowfoodphoenix; for information on the Prescott chapter, see http://facebook.com/slowfoodprescott.
A major Slow Food project to preserve biodiversity is the Ark of Taste, a recognition of endangered foods in the United States and the world (see http://slowfoodusa.org/ark-of-taste for a list of foods from the Southwest region including Sonoran white wheat, chiltepin peppers and recent entries for cholla buds, Sonoran quince and masa patties for Sonoran enchiladas).
