Reflections for this Year's World Food Day

Reflections for this Year's World Food Day

The theme of this year’s World Food Day is focused on bringing access to nourishing, healthy, and safe food to the world’s population—in essence, good, clean, and fair food for all. There’s a reason that these three words resonate so deeply in the Slow Food community. They capture in the simplest terms a set of values centered around human health, ecological stewardship, and social equity. They rally a movement of individuals and communities spread out across over 160 nations to act thoughtfully and gather intentionally around the table.

Celebrating the Autumnal Equinox with Kimchi

City dwellers and farmers alike are welcoming the end of summer and the start of all that comes with autumn—the equinox is upon us, at last! While harvesting the bounty of our latest season at Ujima, Slow Food NYC’s community farm resource in Brooklyn, we found ourselves with an abundance of cabbage. Of course, we knew we’d put our plenty to good use with nothing going to waste.
