The mission of Slow Food North Louisiana is to support foodways that are good, clean and fair for all.
Slow Food North Louisiana has three primary focus areas:
Partner Support: We support the sustainability of programs and initiatives in our region that align with the Slow Food mission, such as the We Grow Together food hub in the Stoner Hill neighborhood of Shreveport, the Shreveport Green Urban Farm, and local seed libraries.
Education & Information Sharing: Teaching people about the joy of real food, knowing where it came from (which country, which farms), and cooking it after you grow/buy it are the things we like to talk about. Our website hosts a directory of where to find local food at farms, farmers markets and local stores.
Access to real food: We support and promote programs that increase access to real food for our regional populations, including community/youth gardens, seed libraries, farmers markets and local stores selling local foods.
We do these things through hosting our own events throughout the year, partnering with other organizations on events focused on food, sharing resources on our website, and regular communication to our members about news, programs and events that align with our mission.
The mission of the Slow Food North Louisiana chapter is the same as that of our parent, Slow Food USA: to ensure good, clean and fair food for all.
Slow Food is about real food. It's about connecting the planet to the plate. It's about celebrating the bounty of this planet through shared meals. And making sure we can continue to do this for generations to come. These things will keep us and our planet healthy in body, mind and spirit.
