ISlow Food iyinhlangano ye- “eco-gastronomic” ekhuthaza wonke umuntu ukuthi abuyise ubumnandi betafula nabangani kanye nomndeni. Ukudla ngakho-ke kuba yisikhathi sokwabelana nokutholwa. Bonke bayamenywa ukuthi baphinde baxhumane namasiko noma bahlole amasiko amasha okupheka ngenkathi benenkinga yezemvelo. Futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke, kufanele singcolise izandla zethu. Qhubeka! Emabhodweni akho...

Ngokusabela ekuxokozeleni kwejubane okubambe isiko lemiphakathi yangemva kwezimboni kanye nomqondo we ukudla okusheshayo ebeka ukuthanda okulinganiselwe, ukunyakaza kweSlow Food kuziveza njengokuphikisana. Kuyasiza umthengi ophazamisekile ukuba abe yisidlo esinolwazi.

Ngo-1986, isitolo sokudlela sakwaMcDonald sasilungiselela ukumisa igatsha ngezinyathelo ezinhle zaseSpain (Izinyathelo zaseSpain), indawo eyingqophamlando eRoma. Babhekene nalokho abakubheka njengokuthuthuka okungamukeleki ekudleni okungenamsoco ezweni lase-Italy, umbhali wephephabhuku we-gastronomic uCarlo Petrini nozakwabo abavela enkampanini yase-Italy i-Arcigola babeka izisekelo zenhlangano yeSlow Food. Ngamahlaya nobuhlakani, bakholisa inqwaba yabaculi nezifundiswa zase-Italy ukuthi zijoyine iphrojekthi yabo. Phela, i-Italy iyindawo yokuzalwa ye-cuisine enkulu yaseYurophu. I-French cuisine ikweleta ngisho nezinhlamvu zayo zezikhulu.

UCarlo Petrini uqale wakhulisa umqondo weSlow Food njengehlaya, ukuvuma kwefilosofi kumaNtaliyane amahle. Ngemuva kwalokho, lo mbono wabamba kahle kangangokuba ngo-1989, iSlow Food yaba yinhlangano yomhlaba engenzi nzuzo. Ukwethulwa kwenzeka e-Opera comique de Paris ngokwamukelwa kwe Imanifesto yeSlow Food yokunambitha nokuhlukahluka kwezinto eziphilayo, eyethulwe nguCarlo Petrini¹.

Ukuvusa ukunambitheka komphakathi kokudla okuseqophelweni eliphezulu, kuchaza imvelaphi yokudla nezimo zezenhlalo nezomlando zomkhiqizo wawo, ukwethula abakhiqizi abavela lapha nakwezinye izindawo, lezi ngezinye zezinhloso zeSlow Food movement.

Abasekeli bale nhlangano bafuna ukuqinisekisa ukuthi izohlala ikhona indawo yokudla kwezandla. Bakholelwa ukuthi ifa lokudla lesintu kanye nemvelo lisengozini ngenxa yemboni yokudla, enikeza yonke imikhiqizo ukwanelisa ngokushesha isifiso sethu sokudla.

Bakholelwa nokuthi isisombululo ezinkingeni zokungondleki kahle eNingizimu kanye nokungondleki kahle eNyakatho kudinga ulwazi olungcono lokwehlukahlukana kwamasiko okudla kanye nokusetshenziswa kabusha komqondo wokwabelana.

Ukuze ufinyelele le migomo, abadali be-Slow Food bakholelwa ukuthi kuyadingeka ukunciphisa ijubane: zinike isikhathi sokukhetha ukudla kwakho kahle, ukukwazi, ukukupheka ngendlela efanele futhi ukujabulele ngokubambisana okuhle. Ngakho-ke uphawu lokunensa, umnenke, ophinde uvuse ukuhlakanipha nokuhlakanipha kwesazi sefilosofi, kanye nokuzithoba nokulinganisela komsingathi ohlakaniphile futhi onomusa.

Ngaphezu kokubamba imisebenzi ekholwayo egxile kwimfundo yokunambitheka kanye nokutholakala kokunambitheka kwasendaweni okukhohliwe noma okusengcupheni yokushabalala, iSlow Food ikhuthaza ukubuyiselwa kabusha, ngokuya kokudla, kobuciko bomsebenzi obudlulela ekukhohlweni. ngaphansi kwengcindezi yomkhiqizo ongalawulwa.

Namuhla, le nhlangano inamalungu angama-82 emazweni athile angamashumi amahlanu. I-Italy, enamalungu ayo angama-000, iseyisizinda salo mkhuba. Ihhovisi elikhulu le-Slow Food International lisenkabeni ye-Italian Piedmont, edolobheni laseBra.

Ukunyakaza okwabelwe indawo

Amalungu ahlukaniswe amayunithi endawo, ngalinye lakha a kwenziwa e-Italy noma e-Convivium kwenye indawo emhlabeni. Kukhona cishe i-1 yazo. dinner lisho "ukuhlala ndawonye" futhi kungumthombo wegama lesiFulentshi elithi "convivialité". Lokhu kusikhumbuza umkhuba wesidlo oletha abantu ndawonye etafuleni ukuze bondle impilo, umphefumulo nomzimba.

I-Convivium ngayinye ihlela imisebenzi yayo: ukudla, ukunambitha, ukuvakashela amapulazi noma izingcweti zokudla, izingqungquthela, izinkundla zokufundisa ukunambitheka, njll.

I-University of Gastronomic Science

I-Slow Food yasungula i-University of Gastronomic Sciences eBra³ ngoJanuwari 2003, isikhungo semfundo ephakeme esaziwa uMnyango Wezemfundo wase-Italy kanye ne-European Union. Lesi sikhungo sokuqeqesha nokucwaninga sihlose ukuvuselela izindlela zokulima, ukuvikela ukuhlukahluka kwemvelo nokugcina ukuxhumana phakathi kwesayensi yokudla okunomzimba kanye nesayensi yezolimo. Asifundisi ukupheka kanjalo, kodwa kunalokho izici zethiyori nezokusebenza ze-gastronomy ngokusebenzisa isayensi yezokuhlalisana kwabantu, i-anthropology, ezomnotho, i-ecology, i-eco-agronomy, ipolitiki, njll.

I-Taste Fair

Ngaphezu kwalokho, iSlow Food ibamba imicimbi yomphakathi ehlose ukukhuthaza ukudla okuhle nokudla okumnandi, njengokudumile Umbukiso Wokunambitha Wamazwe Omhlaba (I-International Taste Fair) eTurin, e-Italy². Lo mcimbi, owenziwa njalo eminyakeni emibili, uvumela abantu ukuthi bathole futhi banambithe amakhono aphekwayo avela kuwo wonke umhlaba, ukuhlangabezana nabapheki abakhulu abavuma ukuhlanganyela ezinye zezimfihlo zabo, ukubamba iqhaza kumasifundisane okunambitha, njll.

Amabhuku

ISlow Food ibuye ishicilele izincwadi ezahlukahlukene zokudla, kubandakanya nalo magazini Slow, enyatheliswa kane ngonyaka ngesiNtaliyane, isiNgisi, isiJalimane, isiFulentshi, iSpanishi nesiJapane. Lokhu kungumbhalo okhuluma nge-anthropology kanye nokuma kokudla. Ihanjiswa mahhala kumalungu azo zonke izingxenye zomhlaba zenhlangano.

Ngezinhlelo ezahlukahlukene, i- ISlow Food Foundation Yezinto Eziphilayo unomsebenzi wokuhlela kanye nokuxhasa ngezimali imisebenzi engase iqinisekise ukuvikeleka kokuhlukahluka kwamagugu okudla kwezolimo kanye nokunotha kwamasiko okupheka omhlaba.

Ngakho iUmphongolo wokunambitha kuyinhlangano yenhlangano ehlose ukufaka kuhlu nokuvikela izinhlobo zezitshalo zokudla noma izilwane zasemapulazini ezisongelwa ngokuqedwa ngumkhawulo wokukhiqizwa kwezolimo kwezimboni. Ukubhalisa into yokudla eMphongolweni Wokunambitha, ngandlela thile, kukwenza kugibele uMkhumbi kaNowa oqobo ozokwazi ukuwuvikela kuzamcolo omenyezelwe.

Qaphela ukuthi e-Europe, silahlekelwe ngu-75% wezinhlobonhlobo zemikhiqizo yokudla kusukela ngo-1900. EMelika, lokhu kulahlekelwa kubalelwa ku-93% ngesikhathi esifanayo.⁴. ISlow Food Quebec ngaleyo ndlela ibhalise eMphongolweni Wokunambitha "ikhabe laseMontreal" kanye "nenkomo yaseCanada", izinto ezimbili zefa lethu ezisongelwa ukunyamalala.

Le owengamele ngendlela ethile ingalo yokuphatha ye-Ark of Taste njengoba umgomo wayo uwukunikeza ukwesekwa kwezezimali nokuhleleka kubalimi, osomabhizinisi kanye nezingcweti ezikhiqiza ukudla okubhaliswe kwa-L'Arche. Ikhuthaza amaqembu abakhiqizi futhi isekele ukumakethwa kwale mikhiqizo kubapheki, abathakathi kanye nomphakathi jikelele.

Kusukela ku-2000, Umklomelo Wokudla Okuhamba Phansi Wokongiwa Kwemvelo Ehlukahlukene gcizelela imizamo yabantu noma yamaqembu okuthi ngocwaningo lwabo, ukukhiqiza, ukumaketha noma ukuxhumana, basize ukuvikela ukuhlukahluka kwemvelo emkhakheni wokudla kwezolimo. Abawinile bathola umklomelo wemali futhi bayazuza ekuvezweni kwabezindaba ukuthi i-Slow Food ayihluleki ukubanikeza ekushicilelweni kwayo, emibhalweni yayo yezindaba kanye nasemicimbini yomphakathi efana I-Salone del Gusto.

Abawine ngaphambilini bahlanganisa iqembu laboMdabu baseMelika eMinnesota, e-United States, abatshala irayisi lasendle, isitshalo esidabuka kule ndawo. Laba bantu bomdabu baqinisekisa izazi zofuzo eyunivesithi esesifundazweni sazo ukuba ziyeke ukuthatha ilungelo lobunikazi kunoma yiluphi uhlobo olusha lwerayisi lasendle olubangelwa ucwaningo lwabo lofuzo. Futhi, bathole ukuthi azikho izinhlobo ze-GMO zalesi sitshalo ezitshalwe esifundeni ukuze kulondolozwe ubuqotho bofuzo lwezinhlobo zendabuko.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukunyakaza kweSlow Food kwamazwe omhlaba kukhombisa ubumbano nabancishwe amathuba kakhulu emhlabeni ngokunikeza ukwesekwa kwezezimali kumaphrojekthi ahlukahlukene: ukuvuselelwa komhlaba wezolimo nokwenza ngcono izindlela zokukhiqiza emphakathini wasemaphandleni eNicaragua, ukuphatha ikhishi. Isibhedlela sase-Amerindian eBrazil, ukuxhasa ngezimali izinhlelo zokudla eziphuthumayo ikakhulukazi ezihloselwe izingane eBosnia, ukwakhiwa kabusha kwefektri eshizi encane ebhujiswe ukuzamazama komhlaba e-Italy, njll.
