Take a breath...Read slowly. How often in the course and crush of our daily lives do we afford ourselves moments to truly relish-to truly be present in-the act of preparing and eating food? For most of us, our enjoyment of food has fallen victim to the frenetic pace of our lives and to our increasing estrangement, in a complex commercial economy, from the natural processes by which food is grown and produced. Packaged, artificial, and unhealthful, fast food is only the most dramatic example of the degradation of food in our lives, and of the deeper threats to our cultural, political, and environmental well-being. In 1986, Carlo Petrini decided to resist the steady march of fast food and all that it represents when he organized a protest against the building of a McDonald's near the Spanish Steps in Rome. Armed with bowls of penne, Petrini and his supporters spawned a phenomenon. Three years later Petrini founded the International Slow Food Movement, renouncing not only fast food but also the overall pace of the "fast life."Issuing a manifesto, the Movement called for the safeguarding of local economies, the preservation of indigenous gastronomic traditions, and the creation of a new kind of ecologically aware consumerism committed to sustainability. On a practical level, it advocates a return to traditional recipes, locally grown foods and wines, and eating as a social event. Today, with a magazine, Web site, and over 75,000 followers organized into local "convivia," or chapters, Slow Food is poised to revolutionize the way Americans shop for groceries, prepare and consume their meals, and think about food. Slow Food not only recalls the origins, first steps, and international expansion of the movement from the perspective of its founder, it is also a powerful expression of the organization's goal of engendering social reform through the transformation of our attitudes about food and eating. As Newsweek described it, the Slow Food movement has now become the basis for an alternative to the American rat race, the inspiration for "a kinder and gentler capitalism."Linger a while then, with the story of what Alice Waters in her Foreword calls "this Delicious Revolution," and rediscover the pleasures of the good life.

By now most of us are aware of the threats looming in the food world. The best-selling Fast Food Nation and other recent books have alerted us to such dangers as genetically modified organisms, food-borne diseases, and industrial farming. Now it is time for answers, and Slow Food Nation steps up to the challenge. Here the charismatic leader of the Slow Food movement, Carlo Petrini, outlines many different routes by which we may take back control of our food. The three central principles of the Slow Food plan are these: food must be sustainably produced in ways that are sensitive to the environment, those who produce the food must be fairly treated, and the food must be healthful and delicious. In his travels around the world as ambassador for Slow Food, Petrini has witnessed firsthand the many ways that native peoples are feeding themselves without making use of the harmful methods of the industrial complex. He relates the wisdom to be gleaned from local cultures in such varied places as Mongolia, Chiapas, Sri Lanka, and Puglia. Amidst our crisis, it is critical that Americans look for insight from other cultures around the world and begin to build a new and better way of eating in our communities here.

Inspiring the global fight to revolutionize the way food is grown, distributed, and eaten. In the almost thirty years since Carlo Petrini began the Slow Food organization, he has been constantly engaged in the fight for food justice. Beginning first in his native Italy and then expanding all over the world, the movement has created a powerful force for change. The essential argument of this book is that food is an avenue towards freedom. This uplifting and humanistic message is straightforward: if people can feed themselves, they can be free. In other words, if people can regain control over access to their food-how it is produced, by whom, and how it is distributed-then that can lead to a greater empowerment in all channels of life. Whether in the Amazon jungle talking with tribal elders or on rice paddies in rural Indonesia, the author engages the reader through the excitement of his journeys and the passion of his mission. Here, Petrini reports upon some of the success stories that he has observed firsthand. From Chiapas to Puglia, Morocco to North Carolina, he has witnessed the many ways different peoples have dealt with food problems.This book allows us to learn from these case studies and lays out models for the future.

A new paradigm for developing a sustainable solution for the economy and the food chainA Taste for Change argues that civil society must take the initiative to create a new paradigm of existence that centers on the common good, ecological transition, and active involvement in the development of a sustainable solution for the economy and the food chain. Giraud and Petrini engage with the revolutionary concepts captured in Pope Francis's recent encyclicals centering on the Earth-based spirituality of Saint Francis of Assisi. This deep exploration of surrounding food systems, indigenous wisdom, economic structures, and politics is based on the premise that the ecological transition urgently needs to be accelerated to avoid the most dramatic consequences of the climate crisis.Academics, students, and activists from a wide array of disciplines will find A Taste for Change a dialogue worthy of careful consideration and an inspiring call to action.

Original dialogues between Pope Francis and Carlo Petrini, the Slow Food movement's founder, on biodiversity, the economy, migration, education, and communityIn 2015, Pope Francis launched the idea of "integral ecology" with his encyclical Laudato Si', addressing Catholics, followers of other faiths, and nonbelievers alike. This groundbreaking reflection examined the serious environmental deterioration of our planet caused by scandalously unjust and irresponsible economic and political systems.Among the thought leaders who inspired Pope Francis was Carlo Petrini, founder of the Slow Food movement. This movement shares the global commitment to "cultivate and protect" human and earthly goods, proceeding with revolutionary pragmatism toward a life in harmony with oneself, with one's community, and with nature. Terrafutura features three original dialogues between Pope Francis and Petrini, exploring themes of biodiversity, the economy, migration, education, and community. Petrini's writings alternate with passages from papal documents, such as the intense "Apostolic Exhortation Querida Amazonia," the lively intervention "(Re)thinking Europe," and the affectionate exhortations to Laudato Si' communities, which suggest new ways of designing the economy and political systems and opening fraternal horizons to the comparison between lay and religious people and between the different cultures of the world.This book, which represents a radical step in developing the concept of integral ecology, will appeal to readers interested in links between climate change / sustainability and economic systems, as well as theologians, papal scholars, environmental activists, and nonprofits. By connecting contemporary discourse with religious texts, Terrafutura will inspire readers to embrace pacifist, collective activism and envision new models of coexistence in an environment that is "good, clean, and fair."

Der Agnostiker Petrini und Papst Franziskus: Gespräche zu politischen ThemenCarlo Petrini, der Begründer der Slow-Food-Bewegung und Initiator des internationalen landwirtschaftlichen Netzwerks Terra Madre, hat mit Papst Franziskus in den letzten Jahren drei lange Gespräche geführt, die von Anfang an in Buchform erscheinen sollten. Die beiden auf den ersten Blick vielleicht ungleichen Männer eint nicht nur eine große gegenseitige Sympathie, sondern auch ein tiefes Engagement für Mensch und Umwelt. So sind diese Gespräche auf Augenhöhe überraschend, bewegend, manchmal nachdenklich, manchmal schnell und immer wieder amüsant. Die Gespräche fußen auf der Enzyklika Laudato si'' von 2015, über die der Papst sagt, sie sei eher eine Sozial- als eine Umwelt-Enzyklika. Es geht um Dialog und Aufrichtigkeit, ohne die keine Gemeinschaft entstehen kann, um die Verbindung von unserem Wohlergehen mit dem der Natur, um die fatalen Auswirkungen unseres Wirtschaftssystems, um Umweltzerstörung, um Migrationsbewegungen und die Gründe dafür, um die Notwendigkeit eines radikalen Umdenkens und immer um die Frage, wie wir es besser machen können. Ein unglaublich berührendes, motivierendes und anregendes Buch.

En 2015, el papa Francisco dirigió al mundo una exhortación de gran valor espiritual, ético y político, la encíclica Laudato si'', una ''reflexión al mismo tiempo alegre y dramática'' sobre el grave deterioro ambiental de nuestro planeta, sobre el despilfarro de recursos naturales y humanos provocado por sistemas económicos y políticos escandalosamente injustos e irresponsables. Asimismo, la encíclica era una invitación franciscana a ''reconectarnos'' con todos los seres vivos y con la Tierra que todos habitamos. En este libro, Carlo Petrini, fundador de la asociación internacional Slow Food y experto en ciencias gastronómicas, recopila una serie de conversaciones que mantuvo con el papa Francisco a propósito de su encíclica. Concebidas como etapas de un diálogo único y coherente, las tres charlas comienzan en la ecología, pero avanzan sobre cuestiones como los cada vez más exagerados desequilibrios económicos, la violencia que representan las injusticias sociales, la brecha cultural... Los escritos originales de Petrini se alternan con pasajes de documentos papales, como la intensa Exhortación apostólica Querida Amazonia, la profunda intervención ''(Re)Thinking Europe'' y las afectuosas exhortaciones a las comunidades Laudato si'', sugiriendo nuevas formas de planificar la economía y la política, y de abrir horizontes fraternos al enfrentamiento entre laicos y religiosos y entre las diferentes culturas del mundo.
