About Slow Food Nation

Slow Food Nation is a subsidiary non-profit of Slow Food USA and part of the international Slow Food movement. It was created to organize the first-ever American collaborative gathering to unite the growing sustainable food movement and introduce thousands of people to food that is good, clean and fair.

The first Slow Food Nation event took place in San Francisco from August 29 to September 1, 2008. Over 85,000 people participated in a Victory Garden, a farmers’ market, a food bazaar, tastings, workshops, lectures, film screenings and more. The next edition will take place in a location other than San Francisco, likely in 2010. Details about the next edition will eventually be announced on slowfoodnation.org and slowfoodusa.org.

Slow Food Nation is dedicated to creating a framework for deeper environmental connection to our food and aims to inspire and empower Americans to build a food system that is sustainable, healthy and delicious.
