Slow Food Scotland

Slow Food Scotland is a national organisation that’s part of the international Slow Food movement of 100 000 members in over 150 countries.

Together, we are campaigning for a food system that is good, clean and fair. Everyone has the right to enjoy the pleasure of food that is good for them, the people who produce it, and the land or sea it comes from.

Thinking global, working local.

A non-profit, member–supported organisation, our activities include influencing positive changes in social policy, building links between producers and eaters, defending and promoting biodiversity and educating young people.

We also work with the other national bodies across the UK, and Slow Food’s international programmes such as 10 000 Gardens in Africa, Terra Madre events and the Slow Food Youth Network.

Good food for all.

Finally, we believe in conviviality, enjoying good food and good company, because ours is a sweet revolution and everyone should have the right to enjoy the taste of good, clean and fair food.

We have several programmes running in Scotland. And we are planning a number of campaigns. We also arrange specific events to highlight Slow Food principles and actions.

As the national body for Scotland, part of our role is the support and promotion of local grass-roots groups across Scotland. There are now five groups across the country Edinburgh, Glasgow, West Scotland, Tayside and North Fife.
