Slow Food is an international movement, active in 35 countries worldwide, with 60,000 members and about 400 convivia.

Slow Food is an international response to the effect fast food has on our society and life. It questions the validity of the fast food philosophy as an unconscious credo that erodes our culinary heritage in the guise of efficiency.

See the official Slow Food Manifesto, endorsed by delegates of 20 countries in 1989, and the International Statute, approved by the Extraordinary Congress in Turin on November 7 1998.
