Child Nutrition Reauthorization: Letter from Slow Food USA
About every five years, Congress, via a Child Nutrition Reauthorization (CNR), reauthorizes essential federal nutrition programs that help provide healthy food and nutrition to more than 35,000,000 children and infants each year. Slow Food USA calls upon Congress and the Biden/Harris Administration to ensure that the next Child Nutrition Reauthorization addresses the many facets of child nutrition security.

Why Iâm Never Buying from Bulk Bins Again
With Earth Month coming to a close, I wanted to reflect on one of my former âzero-wasteâ habits that Iâve tossed out the window. I used to love strolling the well-stocked aisles of Sprouts or Whole Foods, cotton produce bags in hand, ready to fill up on all the bulk bin goodies. Whether it was stocking up on dried fruit, rolled oats, or nuts, I thought I was doing the planet a favor by buying everything in bulk without packaging â that is until I met Alex Willson, a pecan farmer and expert on all-things nuts.
Catching Up with National Resilience Fund Grantees
Slow Food USA created the National Resilience Fund to give direct financial support to vital businesses and workers in community-based food systems, through local Slow Food chapters and working groups.
