Overview

From coast to coast, Americans are becoming more aware of the social, economic and environmental impact of the food choices we make every day. Our Slow Food Denver members work to strengthen the connections between the food on our plates and the health of our planet by:

• Providing opportunity for continuous learning to members, children in schools, and the community at-large through educational activities
• Advocating for change in food policy at the local, regional, and national level
• Fostering connections and coordination among diverse food system stakeholders in support of sustainable agriculture practices
• Facilitating connections among local food producers, food retailers, and consumers of food
• Raising public awareness, improving access and encouraging enjoyment of foods that are local, seasonal, and sustainably grown
• Promoting the celebration of food as a cornerstone of pleasure, culture, and community
