Slow Food Community in Hanoi

“Around the globe, the Slow Food network translates into practice a shared strategy that focuses on defending biological and cultural diversity, educating, inspiring, and mobilizing citizens, and influencing policies in the public and private sectors. In other words, the Slow Food strategy and grassroots work embody the levels of the agroecological transitions. The table below depicts the five levels of agroecological transitions. The table on the next page depicts how Slow Food contributes to the five levels of the agroecological transitions.”

Our Philosophy:

• Good Food for All: Slow Food stands for delicious, healthy, and culturally appropriate food as a right for everyone: a diversity of people, cultures, places, foods, and tastes is key for resilient societies and ecosystems.
• Clean Food for All: Slow Food supports local and resilient food systems that regenerate the Earth’s precious resources rather than depleting them and that safeguard all ecosystems and living species: our food systems have an important role to play in mitigating the climate crisis and biodiversity loss.
• Fair Food for All: Slow Food creates economies based on solidarity and cooperation that benefit and empower all food workers and consumers, where everyone is a valued decision-maker. Social equity through fair working conditions and inclusivity of all peoples, ethnicities, and genders, as well as equal access to food, water, and land, is key for the future of our food systems. Farmers, fish harvesters, food artisans, indigenous peoples, and all food workers are valued as key experts and decision-makers.
