With the funds raised at this event, Slow Food St. Louis contributes to a number of initiatives dedicated to the goals of Slow Food, which include promoting biodiviersity, supporting sustainable agriculture and teaching taste education.
Slow Food is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic member-supported organization that was founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes, and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.
