terra madre 2023

The Terra Madre network was launched by Slow Food in 2004 to give a voice and visibility to those around the world whose approach to food production protects the environment and communities.

In Italy the first world meeting in of Terra Madre food communities brought together 5,000 producers from 130 countries. Since 2004, the network has come together every two years at the global meeting, while national and regional meetings are regularly organized around the world.

a translocal food advocacy in the Visayas - join us!

The movement has grown and continues to fuel the exchange between communities as a form of translocal activism. In the Visayas, the Slow Food Negros community is the driving force and growing movement focused on local food support and sustainability.

It draws on digital data collection on the online activities and research with participants involving semi-structured interviews and observation notes. The paper reflects on the experience of digital fieldwork and how the new format of Terra-Madre provides insights into SF as a translocal movement characterized by conflicts, common perspectives and emergent capabilities.
