THE world’s longest lunch in all national communities bisected by latitude 23º south will follow the sun – on a single day – from Brazil in the east to Namibia in the west, drawing the world’s attention to indigenous food culture, 12 of the world’s biodiversity ‘hotspots’, and the need to sustain the southern hemisphere’s terrestrial and marine food ecosystems.
Slow Food in Australia will welcome your help in organising Food with latitude. If you live in an Australian community bisected by 23º south – the Tropic of Capricorn – let us know if you’re prepared to take part in this extraordinary event. Food with latitude – part of Slow Food in Australia’s most ambitious project, 23º Slow – will bring together on a single day communities in 18 countries to celebrate local, seasonal and indigenous food and draw the world’s attention to the southern hemisphere’s diverse food traditions, ecology and cultures. Food with latitude will follow the sun across the arc of 23º south through 310 degrees of longitude.
