Forest Food: the network of the agri-food chain, from forest to table

MAY 2020_The Mediterranean Network of Model Forests and Slow Food International have signed a collaboration agreement that aims to stimulate cooperation between the two Association not only internationally but also and above all locally, following the principle of "think globally and act locally", which is very dear to both.

NOVEMBER 2020_This brochure is part of this will and comes out on the occasion of Terra Madre 2020, from the collaboration between Montagne Fiorentine Model Forest and Slow Food Valdisieve and Valdarno Fiorentino Community. The intention is to promote conscious choices also on the table, preferring healthy and seasonal food produced by local companies that respect the environment and biodiversity.

In this brochure you can find some food advice, typical local products and the addresses on where to find them!

The local suppliers chain is a friend of the enviroment because it reduces pollution and CO2 emissions. In addition, the purchase of short chain products supports the local economy by encouraging producers, even the smallest ones, not to abandon the territory and to invest in it. Through a purchase choice, linked to the territory, we can enhance our typical products, helping the conservation and development of techniques, culture and typical products that would otherwise risk disappearing!
