Seventeen months, just under a year and a half, have passed since April 22, 2021, the day the Slow Food Coffee Coalition (SFCC) was officially launched. It is a good moment evaluate and move forward.

Terra Madre Salone del Gusto 2022, which will run until September 26 in Turin, offers the ideal venue for this. Included: a conference entitled “Slow Food Coffee Coalition: The Commitment to Good, Clean and Fair and the Example of Cuba,” with the participation of Slow Food president Edward Mukiibi and the vice-president of Lavazza, Giuseppe Lavazza.

What has been achieved?

When the SFCC was officially launched, the first objective was to unite the many actors within the coffee chain, from growers to consumers via roasters and distributors. The numbers for these first 17 months of activity speak for themselves: 29 new Slow Food Communities linked to coffee production in nine countries around the world: Cuba, the Philippines, Honduras, India, Malawi, Mexico, Peru, East Timor and Uganda.

Slow Food is a worldwide network of local communities founded in 1989 in order to counteract the disappearance of local food traditions and the spread of fast food culture. Since then, Slow Food has grown to become a global movement that involves millions of people in more than 160 countries and works so that we can all have access to good, clean and fair food.
