Slow Food On CAMPUS
Slow Food on Campus is a network of Slow Food chapters at colleges and universities across the country. Run by student members, Slow Food on Campus chapters engage their community and the next generation of Slow Food leaders in creating a good, clean, and fair food system. Slow Food on Campus members represent a passionate cross-section of youth addressing food system and food justice issues, spanning environmental and social causes.

Slow Food on Campus chapter’s help students come together, share a meal, exchange ideas, and help make good, clean, and fair food accessible to everyone. Chapters support Slow Food USA partner organizations 350, Real Food Challenge and Student/Farmworker Alliance by hosting events that help educate their communities on how food interacts with climate change, labor and community.

Good, Clean and Fair On-Campus – Fall 2009

Slow Food on Campus has teamed up with 350, Student/Farmworker Alliance, and Real Food Challenge to host three different events geared to draw attention to Good, Clean, and Fair.

December, 2009: Focus = GOOD

This month, Slow Food on Campus chapters will be focusing on the pleasures of good food and the importance of community. Our chapters aim to unify their communities by hosting events where they will enjoy delicious foods, learn to explore local tastes, as well as support Slow Food USA’s Time for Lunch campaign.

November, 2009: Focus = FAIR

Slow Food on Campus partnered with Student/Farmworker Alliance to focus on creating a fair food system. We encouraged students to engage the focus on FAIR by taking on dining service providers to ensure better wages for farmworkers in Immokalee, Florida, or working in a soup kitchen, or finding another other way to bring fair food to their campus community.

October, 2009: Focus = CLEAN

We collaborated with Real Food Challenge to create resources for students to use when educating their community about the connections between climate change and food.
We also worked with Small Planet Institute to produce "table tents" outlining the deep connections between climate change and the food system.
