Goals / Remit
Slow Food is a global movement acting together to ensure good, clean and fair food for all.
GOOD
We stand for delicious, healthy, and culturally-appropriate food as a right for everyone
CLEAN
We support local and resilient food systems which regenerate the Earth’s precious resources rather than deplete them,and which safeguard all ecosystems and living species
FAIR
We help build economies based on solidarity, cooperation, inclusion and equality, that benefit and empower all food workers and consumers, where everyone is a valued decision-maker
OUR MISSION
We cultivate a worldwide network of local communities and activists who defend cultural and biological diversity, promote food education as well as the transfer of traditional knowledge and skills, and influence policies in public and private sectors.Main EU files targeted
At EU level, we liaise with the European institutions and collaborate with partner organisations to promote our common vision, influence food policies in the European Union, seeking to change the current food and farming systems. We translate the grassroots experience of our network into policy recommendations and bring to the European level issues that are dealt with at national level.
Specifically in 2024, our advocacy work focuses on the 2024 EU elections; the upcoming reform of the Common Agricultural Policy; the follow up to the Biodiversity Strategy and Farm to Fork Strategy with the new European Commission, in particular the follow up to the proposal for a legislative framework for sustainable food systems (FSFS) (including food environments, food labelling and public procurement). Other policy topics that we will follow: animal welfare, pesticides, climate change, protein strategy, food waste, GMOs and new GMOs, soil health, urban food policies.Address

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
