SLOW FOOD IN AFRICA Project

Since 2011 Slow Food has continued to grow a network of about 3,500 active gardens in Africa.

Located in schools, cities and villages, the food gardens allow communities to choose what to grow, eat and sell. They support local economies, help protect the extraordinary  biodiversity of the African continent, add value to traditional knowledge and food cultures and nurture a network of young people working to change the future of agriculture and food in Africa.

We are not stopping here. Our objective going forward is to create thousands of new gardens, catalog more products at risk of extinction, establish new Presidia and Earth Markets to help African farmers, herders and fishers, organize education activities in schools, promote local food and get communities actively participating, with a particular investment in youth and women.

Support the Slow Food activities in Africa!

SUPPORT THE NETWORK OF FOOD GARDENS IN AFRICA

An individual food garden is a drop in the ocean compared to the problems Africa faces every day. But if there were thousands of gardens, tens of thousands, all networked together, then their force would be immense. Together they can become a single voice, speaking out against land grabbing, the invasion of GMOs and intensive agriculture and in favor of natural farming techniques, sustainability and food sovereignty. They can become a symbol of hope for thousands of women and men across the continent.

Slow Food has been active in Malawi since 2014. Currently there are 177 gardens being cultivated, and continues the work of training the communities and schools involved in the project. We teach how to diversify crops and produce better food that's nutritious and natural. The gardens provide effective assistance to local people who want to win back their food sovereignty.
