In the 1990s a Slow Food movement began in Italy. The precepts are simple and are intended to improve quality of life. As Green puts it, Slow Food asks people to "use local ingredients harvested and put together in a socially and environmentally responsible way." In the U.S. a similar campaign is often branded Local Food. By choosing your meals based on these principles it is anticipated that you will eat healthier, support crop biodiversity, your local economy, and participate more fully in your community.
