Slow Food South East Wales

Conviviality is central to our mission. We are a global community, connecting people to the land and to each other through local projects, educational events, and shared meals.

Slow Food is a global, grassroots organisation with supporters in over 150 countries around the world that links the pleasure of food with a commitment to the community and the environment.

We are a not–for–profit organisation seeking to promote a better way to eat, celebrating the rich food traditions of Wales, and protecting our edible biodiversity. We engage members of the public, food producers, chefs, businesses, academics and a global network, spreading and enacting our philosophies internationally and locally.

Biodiversity

Biodiversity is the variety of plant and animal life in the world or in a particular habitat, a high level of which is usually considered to be important and desirable. We believe the protection of biodiversity to be of utmost importance..

Climate Change

Let’s Not Eat Up Our Planet! In order to stop climate change, we must change the industrial food production system, based on profit and the indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources, and restore value to food.

Family Farming

Slow Food believes that family farms can play a key role in addressing many of the serious food problems affecting our planet. Smallholder farmers grow a wide variety of species and hold essential knowledge about their cultivation.

Join us at the Cynon Valley Museum, on April 29th to celebrate the launch of our campaign to identify all the wonderful Welsh food that is in danger of being forgotten.

The Ark of Taste is a global initiative from Slow Food that travels the world collecting small-scale quality productions that belong to the cultures, history and traditions of the entire planet: an extraordinary heritage of fruits, vegetables, animal breeds, cheeses, breads, sweets and cured meats…

The local chapter of Slow Food, Slow Food South East Wales, has identified the South Wales Mountain Sheep as it’s first entry into the Ark of Taste.

We are celebrating its inclusion and asking you to help us remember, celebrate and continue to enjoy the foods that make Wales so unique.
