Slow Food on Campus

Thursday, September 11th, 2008 | Food Activism, Organizations | No Comments

Here’s a great blog I just found when I was renewing my student membership to Slow Food. Here’s who they say they are:

“Slow Food on Campus is a network of Campus Convivia, chapters of Slow Food USA run by college and university students across the country. These Campus Convivia are the living, breathing, working arm of Slow Food USA in the college community. By promoting food and food justice issues and by engaging their fellow students in the pleasures of the table and the garden, Campus Convivia aim to promote a slower, more just, and more harmonious rhythm of life on our nation’s college campuses.”

I am especially excited to see this movement spreading amongst university and college campuses. After all the future of our nation has often been molded in such places.
