Slow Food on Campus and Conscious Lifestyle

Slow Food on Campus is pleased to announce a new funding and support opportunity available to Slow Food on Campus chapters. A partnership between Conscious Lifestyle and Slow Food on Campus provides seed money, web space, mentoring and support for a select number of specific projects or “ventures” developed by Slow Food on Campus chapters. Conscious Lifestyle is a nonprofit organization that supports Slow Food on Campus in an effort to empower students and schools to become more socially responsible.

The first three recipients of the funding and support are Slow Food Princeton University, Slow Food Rutgers University and Slow Food University of Wisconsin at Madison. The students at Rutgers University will be working as a liaison between the on-campus farmers market and the university dining services to significantly increase the amount of local food served on campus. At the University of Wisconsin, Madison, students are working to establish a sustainable food cart that will act as a pilot program leading to a Slow Food Café on campus. Slow Food Princeton will be planting a student-run organic garden, the produce of which will be sold at the on-campus farmer's market and to the campus dining services.

If you are a Slow Food on Campus chapter interested in applying for funding, please download an application. Applications will be due in December. Check back here for updated information.

University of Gastronomic Sciences (UNISG)

The University of Gastronomic Sciences, a truly unique academic institution, was founded in 2003 by Slow Food in conjunction with the regional authorities of Emilia-Romagna and Piedmont (Italy). The objective is to create an international research and training center, working to renew farming methods, protect biodiversity and maintain an organic relationship between gastronomy and agricultural science. The gastronomist trained at the University of Gastronomic Sciences represents a new kind of professional capable of entering the employment market with a solid cultural background, a comprehensive and multidisciplinary knowledge of food culture and science and first-hand experience of production processes and regions.
