Time to reconnect with local food...
Preparations are underway for the worldwide celebration of Slow Food’s 20th Anniversary and ‘Eating Locally’ on Terra Madre Day on December 10. There are already 150 events registered around the world: a wide range of actions as diverse and unique as the communities holding them, from a shared dinner under an elephant at the Toulouse Natural History Museum in France, to a community folk festival in Bangladesh, an event linking chefs with artisan farmers in Kenya, and a fish canning party in the USA. The goal is to reach 1,000 Terra Madre Day events around the world. Events can be held any time on or around December 10.
To join this celebration and raise the profile of the work you are doing to protect and improve your local food system, register your event on the Terra Madre Day web site. Once registered, your event will be listed by region on the Terra Madre Day map, with a link to a description of what you are planning and contact details.
See website for more information.
