Yannick Schandené, Slow Food community leader and Earth Market Coordinator
Moderator: Florence Ranson, Red Comms, contributor DNA Consulting
Media angles:

Slow Food is a global network of local communities which was founded back in 1989. From its very beginnings, Slow Food’s aim was to prevent the disappearance of local food cultures and traditions and counteract the rise of fast food culture, and has since gathered millions of supporters passionate about good, clean, and fair food for all. Today, the network is made up of chefs, educators, youth, activists, farmers, fishers, members, consumers and academics, all woven together in many different ways. All around the world, activities and events are being organized by local groups of people organized in convivia/ chapters and communities.
