Slow Food Plovdiv Network

“Slow Food Plovdiv Network” is a project by the Localfood.bg Foundation that brings together local citizens, farmers and food producers who are effecting sustainable changes in food production and the culture of eating. The project harks back to the values of the Slow Food movement, a global response to fast-food chains’ negative influence on local traditions and cultures that rely on agriculture and foods. The Slow Food movement believes that everybody is entitled to access to food that’s good, clean and produced in a fair way.

Goals

“Slow Food Plovdiv Network” seeks to develop and strengthen the connection between city and countryside, and to illustrate their organic connection on the basis of a culture of sustainable production and food consumption. The organization is building a strong and sustainable community for the production of local foods, thereby stimulating both business and citizens. A further goal is the discovery of local foods that can be registered under the EU’s foodstuffs quality schemes (protected designation of origin, protected geographical indication or traditional specialties guaranteed).
