SLOW grass draws on Slow Food Australia convivia relationships with producers, chefs and cooks to build community awareness of good, clean and fair food and to encourage consumer support in the market. Slow grass adapts the development by the wine industry of geographic indicators that identify Australian wineries within regions and extends this to farmers producing good, clean and fair food, chefs, cooks and restaurants who use it, and farmers’ markets and grocers where it is sold. Convivia identify participants for assessment and inclusion in the Slow grass database.
Slow Food Australia will use this information to develop national and regional promotion campaigns, and to publish A Slow Food guide to Australia. Slow grass participants will be able to display a symbol subject to annual review.
