The international organization was founded by Carlo Petrini andn 1986, and currently has 100.000 followers throughout the headquarters of countries such as Italy, Germany, Switzerland, USA, France, Japan, etc.

This is how the Slow Food concept of eco-gastronomy was born:
Unite respect and the study of food and wine culture with the support of those in the world who are in charge of defending agri-food biodiversity.
The people who make up the association are a diverse group of artisan producers, farmers, fishermen, bakers, agronomists, scientists, cooks, creatives, journalists, documentary makers …
