Slow Food is a global, grassroots organization, founded in 1989 to prevent the disappearance of local food cultures and traditions, counteract the rise of fast life and combat people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from and how our food choices affect the world around us.

Since its beginnings, Slow Food has grown into a global movement involving millions of people in over 160 countries, working to ensure everyone has access to good, clean, fair and healthy food.

Good: fresh and seasonal, healthy, tasty and able to stimulate and satisfy the senses.
Clean: environmentally sustainable cultivation and production processes, no GM crops, local.
Fair: accessible prices for consumers and fair compensation and conditions for producers.
Healthy because health is a fundamental topic, and when we talk about health, more and more often we refer to what we eat and the environment in which we live.

Slow Food believes food is tied to many other aspects of life, including culture, politics, agriculture and the environment. Through our food choices we can collectively influence how food is cultivated, produced and distributed, and change the world as a result.

The Slow Food Convivia in Cilento operates through various projects and activities. The Cilento Convivia operates in the towns that fall in the area of Mount Stella, from Agropoli to Pollica along the coastal strip, from Prignano Cilento to Omignano, on the internal area, and in the territory of the towns along the valley of Calore, from Roccadaspide to Felitto on the south side, from Aquara to Piaggine and Valle dell’Angelo on the north side.
