Slow Food RegenerAction Program: how to reshape our food systems
The Slow Food RegenerAction Program will help you to better understand what we mean by good, clean and fair protein transition towards agroecology and what you can do at your local level to unlock and support the food systems transformation on that direction.
General Objective
The protein transition embraces different aspects of our food systems, addressing the environmental, health and social issues caused by intensive farming and fishing, much related to the overconsumption of industrial animal proteins. To reshape our supply chains, we need a transformation of our daily habits for a more conscious and healthy diet, rich in plant-based food (like whole grains, vegetables and fruits, legumes and nuts) and with reduced animal proteins from agroecological sources. However, consumers cannot change the system alone: we will go into how policymakers, at local and international level, must promote sustainable food environments, making good, clean and fair food more accessible and affordable for all also in schools, in restaurants and beyond. In this, it is pivotal to support small scale farmers that implement agroecology within their fields, which Slow Food identifies as crucial to achieve environmental sustainability and food security and sovereignty.
Format
The program offers three independent thematic options, focusing on protein transition and tackling specific topics related to the three pillars (Biodiversity, Education and Advocacy) of the Slow Food global strategy.
Applicants will have to choose one of these three options, according to their interests.
All sessions will be held online, on the Zoom platform.
The program will also include the participation to the Slow Beans event in Capannori, Italy (November 24-26) for a limited number of applicants, who will be awarded with a scholarship.
