The world’s edge

SBS editor Alix Clark covers Slow Food Perth’s ‘Slow food at the edge of the world’ cultural conservation project in the Oct 2011 edition of Feast magazine. ‘We talk to four migrants and refugees in Perth about their cultures…and the foods of their homelands,’ Alix writes. ‘Many of the recipes have been passed down by oral tradition…’ Buy Feast or subscribe on-line.

Buy local food

Making a choice to buy only local food yields many benefits – for our farmers and fishers and their families and staff, for farming communities, farm equipment suppliers, and for shoppers and eaters.

Raw milk

As one blog correspondent to Slow Food’s Australian website noted in 2011: ‘Smoking is okay, but raw milk cheese very dangerous????’ Australia’s food standards authority continues to ban the sale of ‘soft’ cheese made from raw milk. Find out about our campaign.

Food sovereignty

Slow Food promotes the right to choose what makes up the daily diet of all people, including the knowledge and freedom to choose what to grow, and how this food is grown and distributed. Read about the right to choose.
