For the case study presentation I chose Slow Food International. As a counterpart of fast food, the slow food campaign promotes locally produced food and a lifestyle to appreciate the origin and consumption of food. It’s completely linked into sustainability and equity issues. Moreover I think that by producing and consuming a wider diversity of foods, farmlands become more diverse which will be beneficial for the conservation of biodiversity and at a larger scale ecosystem services.

Thought for a moment about addressing the Club of Rome for the presentation. This week they prepare the Declaration of Amsterdam, and they will advice for profound changes in the economy, the use of sustainable resources and strong politics.
