Real Food, Slow Food
Carlo Petrini & Andrew Whitley

Organised by Schumacher College, Slow Food Devon and Slow Food Plymouth.

This event brings together two champions of a saner, healthier and more sustainable food system. Carlo Petrini founded Slow Food, an international organisation which has progressed from campaigning for quality food to demanding that food be produced in environmentally and socially responsible ways – as well as tasting delicious. He will explain how discussion of the future of food and agriculture is closely linked to issues of environmental and public health, poverty and social justice, land reform and the energy crisis.

Andrew Whitley founded and ran the Village Bakery. He will focus on bread, which like so many other foods has become industrialised and de-natured, leading to widespread wheat intolerance and other nutritional problems. His Real Bread Campaign aims to bring British bread back to life and make home baking and small-scale production more widespread.

After questions and discussion time, there will be the opportunity to carry on the conversations and enjoy samples from local producers who are involved with Slow Food, as well as bread made with Andrew in the Schumacher College kitchens that day.
