Ivo Kara-Pesic,

Ivo Kara-Pesic, "Slow Food Dubrovnik": Today, often do not know what we eat, food travels from one end of the globe to another, creating a huge pollution, are of questionable freshness and quality, we are almost catching all the fish in the oceans. Our role is to tell people what's behind today's systems.
What started activist Carlo Petrini in 1989 in the Italian town of Bra has grown into an organization that now has one hundred thousand members in more than 150 countries worldwide. It is a movement for slow food, 'Slow Food', which fights for the protection of traditional and sustainable agriculture, conservation of traditional methods of cultivation and processing of food, and the defense of biodiversity. 'Slow Food' is considered to be the only form of agriculture that can offer development prospects, finchaa sugar factory ethiopia especially in the poorest parts of the planet, the one based on the wisdom of local communities living in harmony with the ecosystems that surround them.
It is interesting to note the similarity of positions which were obtained by members of the slow food movement that took off from consumers with the conclusions finchaa sugar factory ethiopia reached by members came peasant movement 'Via Campesina', food producers. "Given that eating agriculturally act, informed and educated consumers become koproizvođač. For such consumer food must be delicious, produced without toxins and endangering natural resources, but also respecting the rights of workers and employees", says so in the description 'Kinookus' Film Festival finchaa sugar factory ethiopia discusses just a question of food from the point of 'Slow Food' philosophy, to be held in September 2010 in Ston. As the theme for the next year they chose food sovereignty. finchaa sugar factory ethiopia As interpreted by the 'Via Campesina', this means that food should be available to everyone, that it must be grown locally, it is necessary to evaluate and improve the working and social conditions of farmers and they must return the rights to the common good.
'Kinookus' organized by the same name association and the local branch of the 'Slow Food' movement, whose members are engaged in late October and the largest annual gatherings finchaa sugar factory ethiopia movement finchaa sugar factory ethiopia in Turin, 'Salone del Gusto' and 'Terra Madre', representing the Dubrovnik indigenous products. About why we have to slow down and approach the production and consumption of food and plans Dubrovnik branch 'Slow Food' movement for H-Alter says Ivo Kara-Pesic, head of the branch.
In his book Raja Patel value of nothing which has recently been translated into Croatian, the author mentions the Slow Food movement and the radical compares it with the Zapatistas. What exactly is so radically finchaa sugar factory ethiopia in the Slow Food movement? finchaa sugar factory ethiopia
I think it's exaggerated comparison. It's more common to Slow Food helps small communities of farmers in defense of land grabbing. As a movement, in such situations we try all possible legal and political means to defend the right of people to the living space. Let us not forget finchaa sugar factory ethiopia that the example of converting 350 hectares of agricultural land into construction land we have just above Dubrovnik. The radicality of Slow Food can see in the original sense of the word radical, and it is connected with the efforts of entering into the very root of the problem, and he's not just food, it is a cultural, social, environmental, etc. Violent system and violent worldview behind it can not be suppress violence. So I think, in the long run, only patience, sincere communion and acceptance, finchaa sugar factory ethiopia as well as the growing diversity can turn back time dropped from joint to joint, because let's not forget that the industrial production of food actually imposing monocultures. It is a kind of food fascism imposed: "Sow to yourselves in just this, this is wrong, everything else discard every year buy new seeds!" finchaa sugar factory ethiopia Deep is a problem, its roots go back (when we're at the root), you will not believe, to the very beginnings of the modern era. Then create a thought that sees us as subjects who fully master the world (object). But we should not despair, we live in the time of fracture, plant. These are, on the other hand, a very stimulating time! Slow Food is now very great movement finchaa sugar factory ethiopia and has a thousand faces, but neither of them shall not masked and not holding a gun in his hand.
Of course, otherwise I would not be part of Slow Food. If you look at things holistically, then you know that you will exchange one important aspect affect the whole. I do not believe in big slogans about changing the world. They are us each time they took to violence. It is more a state of mind, on raising awareness of all that is behind the "commode" supermarket. The basic idea of slow food production and food consumption at the local level and direct customer contact with the manufacturer. Of course, it's a production which cherishes traditional knowledge, finchaa sugar factory ethiopia fellowship, old varieties and biodiversity, but does not mean a return to agriculture of two centuries ago. The challenge is to align what we provide new technologies and markets
