Organizational Structure
The Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity was founded in 2003 to support Slow Food’s projects that defend agricultural biodiversity and gastronomic traditions, with a particular focus on developing countries.
Terra Madre is a meeting of food communities from all over the world, as well as a network among food producers, distributors, cooks, academics and all those who work for responsible and sustainable food production.
Slow Food created the University of Gastronomic Sciences to offer a multidisciplinary academic program in the science and culture of food. UNISG is another way in which Slow Food brings together the innovations and research of the academic and scientific world and the traditional knowledge of farmers and food producers.
Some national associations have created for-profit companies to manage commercial events and ventures whose earnings go to support the associations’ activities (eg., Slow Food Italy’s publishing house, Slow Food Editore).
