The Slow Food on Campus program is another one that is about creating healthier communities, appreciation for food and for the people who grow, carry it, and prepare it. Respect, agency, and gratitude: so let’s make sure this program goes from campus to campus.
Kitchens have always been places of learning. We teach how we live. So how do we teach appreciation for the earth, for the preparation of food, for the gift of good food? We teach that around the table, in the fields, at the markets, and also in the kitchen.
The Greenhorns is one of those blogs I turn to when I want to soak in the wisdom of young farmers on a big adventure in sustainable agriculture. Thanks to social media and digital tools like blogging, we can tell and share these stories so much more easily, encouraging us to cultivate direct connections with folks on amazing life journeys to make this world a better place.
That third stone of liberal religion reminds us that how we freely associate matters. This project teaches youth reverence for the earth and where food really comes from (no, not the hypermarket) — and that the power of growing change and goodness is in our hands.
Slow Food USA shares this super blog post asking us to name how where we live tastes. No, do not get down and lick the floor, even if you always say yours is clean enough to eat off. Instead, what grows in your area? What are the tastes in the foodways of the cultures of the people who share where you live? Revelation is not sealed in plastic wrap. Prepare your tastebuds for surprise in the flavors of where you live.
How many people in your area are living with food insecurity (don’t know where their next meal will be)? How many children? elders? The biggest causes of hunger in the world aren’t famines, as terrible and as much as we need to work to end those and care for the hungry now. The biggest cause of hunger in the world is distribution and economic access. What are you doing in your community & around the world to end food insecurity and make sure all are fed?
