Good, Clean and Fair

GOOD a fresh and flavorsome seasonal diet that satisfies the senses and is part of

  • ur local culture;

The pleasures of good food can also help to build community and celebrate culture and regional diversity.

CLEAN food production and consumption that does not harm the environment, animal welfare or our health;

Nutritious food that is as good for the planet as it is for our bodies. It is grown and harvested with methods that have a positive impact on our local ecosystems and promotes biodiversity.

FAIR accessible prices for consumers and fair conditions and pay for small-scale producers.

Food is a universal right. Food that is fair should be accessible to all, regardless of income, and produced by people who are treated with dignity and justly compensated for their labor.

Ark of Taste

Carlo Petrini to Slow Food Network: “…Reinvigorate the catalog of all at-risk local products, varieties and native breeds until we reach 10,000 products.” Because, even with > 1000 products on the Ark of Taste, plant species, breeds, traditional foods remain at risk—1 disappears every 3 hours.
