Slow food is a subculture centered around the idea that food production, preparation and consumption is something to be relished and enjoyed as opposed to fast, cheap and convenient. This is associated with social dining, sustainable and ethical agriculture, local seasonal ingredients, food appreciation, biological diversity initiatives such as seed banks and preservation of food culture.
