"Local people were none too happy. Instead of fanfare, the fast-food outpost received swift backlash against the global cultural homogenization it represented. The tumult gave birth to the Slow Food Movement, a grassroots campaign to defend and promote regional heritage, culinary traditions, and a less frenetic pace of life. Since then, slow food has become part of a global lexicon whose principles have spread around the world."
"So, when Slow Food International began to think about a second location for its legendary festival Terra Madre, which is held annually in Turin, Italy, they naturally gravitated toward the region. Though multiple cities vied to host the event, they chose Sacramento for the honor. We grow so much of the nation's agriculture, says Mike Testa, president and CEO of Visit Sacramento. There are 165 commodities coming out of this region, 1.5 million acres of farmland;"
Backlash to a fast-food outpost sparked the Slow Food Movement to defend regional heritage, culinary traditions, and a slower pace of life. Slow Food principles spread globally and found deep American expression in Northern California's embrace of local, seasonal, farm-to-fork food. Slow Food International selected Sacramento to host Terra Madre Americas, citing the region's agricultural breadth. The Sacramento area produces 165 commodities across 1.5 million acres and claims 85% of the nation's caviar. The event will connect existing Farm-to-Fork festivities with a free, three-day Terra Madre Americas program featuring chef demonstrations, panels, tribal community participation, and UC Davis involvement.
