Mother Jones at Slow Food Nations

Slow Food USA is hosting the third annual Slow Food Nations festival in Denver, Colorado. It’s a food festival for all, but especially thinkers, doers, and conscious eaters like you! See Alice Waters and Ron Finley speak at the Leader Summit, meet rising talent like chefs Regina Escalante Bush and Pierre Thiam, taste your way through the free-entry Taste Marketplace on historic Larimer Square, or enjoy free speaker sessions on everything from regenerative agriculture to the magic of fermentation. 

In school, we’re taught about the food web: the interlocked and interrelated series of food chains in an ecosystem. Outside of school, the food web can very well mean something else entirely. At Slow Food Nations, we start with food and branch outward. Food links to every aspect of our lives – politics, science, people and chefs, our cultures, the environment, our families. All of these connections create a new web, full of pathways meant to be explored and questions to be asked. Slow Food Nations gives way to adventure and answers, and our array of events displays the immensity of the food web and allows each guest to go on a journey within it. Slow Food is a global network of individuals and communities working for good, clean, and fair food for all, and this event invites you into the heart of the movement. The Slow Food Nations team has curated some event recommendations just for Mother Jones.
