KATHERINE DEUMLING MEMORIAL FUND APPLICATIONS
Slow Food Leader Katherine Deumling was a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend and mentor. She was a scholar, activist and leader in the movement for good food at the intersection of culture, farming, environmentalism and social justice. Sadly, Katherine passed away in 2022 at the too-young age of 49.
The Katherine Rachel Deumling Memorial Scholarship Fund honors Katherine’s memory by sending Slow Food community members to gatherings, events and conferences.
