Welcome to Slow Food, the podcast!

Ciao! Welcome to “Slow Food, the podcast” where we explore the beauty of good, clean, and fair food systems. From the coffee in your cup to the cacao in your chocolate, we uncover the stories of the people who make our food possible. How do different products end up in your shopping basket and who even decides what’s available for you, and at what cost? I’m Valentina Gritti, a Slow Food Youth Network activist, and I’ll be your guide on this journey.   We walk side-by-side with farmers, cooks and food workers from around the world who are healing the planet through food. We'll learn from the cultural knowledge of indigenous communities, opening our minds to new ways of thinking about food and the political implications of every meal we eat. But most of all, we’ll give you the tools to slow down your life, allowing you to take charge and make choices that are in tune with your health, and the planet.    At Slow Food, we believe that everyone has a story to tell, something to teach. So come with us and discover the power of food, how we can use it to make connections, build communities and restore the natural world. If you have any questions about the food on your plate, reach out to us on socials or write to us at [email protected] and we’ll get back to you. Let’s get on with the show!
