Slow Food

Slow Food NYC works to create a food system that is good, clean, and fair for everyone in our community. Slow Food is a global movement active in over 160 countries. Together, we can achieve good, clean, fair food for all. Join us!

Our Mission

Slow Food NYC works to create a food system based on the principles of high quality and taste, environmental sustainability, and social justice—in essence, a food system that is good, clean, and fair. We seek to move our culture away from the destructive effects of an industrial food system and towards the cultural, social, health, and economic benefits of a sustainable food system, regional food traditions, and the pleasures of the table.
