Promoting the Slow food concept for a better Common Agriculture Policy and Environmental Protection.
Journal Title: Advances in Agriculture & Botanics - International Journal of the Bioflux Society - Year 2009, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Slow Food is an international movement which came into being in Paris in 1989. It fights for a sustainable and quality agriculture. Biodiverity, reanimation of local cultures and habits, the intelligent use of techology are some of its objectives, next to safeguard the environment and the land, to endorse sustainable agriculture, to protect small producers and their communities. Some of these desiderata are settled as CAP objectives, but few are put in practice and really defended by the EU policymakers.
