Welcome to the Charleston convivium (chapter) of Slow Food USA, an
eco-gastronomic nonprofit organization with international headquarters in Bra, Italy. We seek to create dramatic and lasting change in the food system.
Our mission is to reconnect Americans with the people, traditions, plants, animals, fertile soils, and waters that produce our food. As a Charleston chapter, we also have a unique opportunity to celebrate Lowcountry cuisine. We work to inspire transformation in food policy, production practices, and market forces so that they ensure equity, sustainability,

What is Good, Clean, and Fair Food?
Good: Naturally delicious food created with care from healthy plants and animals.
Clean: Grown and harvested with methods that have a positive impact on ecosystems and biodiversity.
Fair: Accessible to all, regardless of income, and produced by people who are treated with dignity and justly compensated for their labor.
GOOD FOOD IS A COMMON LANGUAGE AND A UNIVERSAL RIGHT! |
