Hey everyone - I was wondering if a group of UW Farmers would be interested in going to the 2010 Terra Madre event in Torino at the end of October. There is a description below - and they suggest people apply as a group. We'd have to pay for airfare, but other than that we'd be accommodated. The application is here and the website is here. Let me know if you have interest - the application deadline is coming up quick. -Michelle
Description:
More than 5,000 representatives from the worldwide Terra Madre network will meet in Turin, Italy for the fourth time this October 21 to 25 - coinciding once again with the international Slow Food fair Salone del Gusto. The five-day meeting will bring together food communities, cooks, academics, youth and musicians from all over the world, who are united in a desire to promote sustainable local food production in harmony with the environment while respecting knowledge handed down over the generations.
A new feature in 2010 will be a focus on cultural and linguistic diversities - in recognition of the need to defend minority ethnic groups and indigenous languages, and with an appreciation of the value of oral traditions and memory. At the opening ceremony, representatives of indigenous communities from all continents across the world will speak to the audience in their native languages.
