Slow Fish in Action

Informing Consumers

Slow Food has always prioritized direct contact with its main public: conscientious consumers. They can powerfully influence the market, and policy, as awareness about certain issues spreads. In effect, they partner with small-scale producers, becoming co-producers.

This is why the association is stepping up its awareness-raising about responsible food, and fish in particular, without ever losing sight of the gastronomic aspect.
