Slow Food: We Are What We Eat - FYS: Statistics

The Almanac brings together the year as it was lived by the worldwide Slow Food network:

projects, campaigns, aspirations and outcomes. A colorful publication illustrated by many photographs, the volume of more than 100 pages is produced in six languages in an online format. A facts and figures section adds an overview of the status of the association’s membership, projects and finances.

The name is intentional: Consider Slow Food the opposite of fast food. While the latter relies on cheap, processed ingredients that do not vary by location, the Slow Food movement urges people to eat fresh, local foods and regional specialties. Slow Food also calls for a rediscovery of traditional food production methods, and for a return to pleasurable meals enjoyed with friends, family and conversation. Established in 1989, Slow Food — a global organization called Slow Food International (SFI), with regional chapters called convivia in over 150 countries — offers a new way of thinking about food.

This database is the online version of the CQ Researcher print publication. It provides original, comprehensive reporting and analysis on issues in the news. Each issue discussed includes an abstract, overview, background, current situation, outlook, special focus, chronology, pro/con, bibliography, next step, contacts, and footnotes.

This database is designed to assist researchers in understanding the full scope of controversial subjects. It can be used as a guide to debating, developing arguments, writing position papers, and developing critical thinking skills.
