Slow Food USA
Slow Food USA strives to create a world where all people can eat food that is good for them, good for the people who grow it, and good for the planet. Our food policies maintain a power imbalance that disproportionately affects Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), low-income communities and women. Theft of land and water, worker exploitation, lack of access to nutritious foods, food apartheid, and diet-related health problems are rooted in racism, classism, gender discrimination, and other oppressive practices.
