Slow Food: 10,000 Vegetable Gardens in Africa

From 1,000 to 10,000 food gardens in Africa!

Behind this extra zero lies a political proposal. This five-digit number represents Slow Food’s entire strategy in Africa, which involves promoting local food consumption and food education in schools, protecting biodiversity (Ark of Taste and Presidia), adding value to African gastronomy and raising awareness about crucial issues like GMOs, land grabbing and sustainable fishing.

The project’s new phase will be officially launched in Milan on February 17, during the Slow Food for Africa event.

The event can be watched live in streaming from 9 to 11 am Pacific Time on Monday February 17 (www.slowfood.com and www.slowfoodfoundation.org).

Afterwards you’ll be able to watch the video on the Slow Food and Slow Food Foundation websites or Slow Food International’s YouTube channel.
