Watch This Presentation:
Imagine exploring the beautiful, historic sites of Rome and all of a sudden coming across a McDonald's sign. It may come as a surprise that fast food has wormed its way into one of the most culturally rich locations in the world. Italian journalist Carlo Petrini felt this same sense of surprise, which prompted him to found the Slow Food movement. Slow Food promotes food as a common language and a universal right, envisioning a world where people can access quality food, clean food, and food that is equitably sourced. As an organization, they aim to preserve biodiversity in food and promote taste education and international events. With chapters all around the world, Slow Food has come to Pittsburgh to collaborate with sustainably-minded partners and host taste education events and social nights.
