Over the years Slow Food has started thousands of school gardens across the world, and we’re convinced they can be a key element in food and environmental education for children everywhere.
The oldest of these projects was founded in 1995 by Alice Waters: the Edible Schoolyard Project, while there’s a nationwide Orti in condotta network in Italy, and an ongoing international campaign to create 10,000 Gardens in Africa. These projects are united by common objectives which allow us to consider them one giant international Slow Food network, with distinctive elements compared to other aspects of our work. This forum is an international meeting among the coordinators of Slow Food school gardens to discuss their progress, what they have in common and where they differ in their struggle for good, healthy, and environmentally-friendly food education.
Slow Food Communities from across the world share and compare their experiences.
Access to the event is free, but must be booked in advance – more details available soon.
