Slow Food Live: Biodiversity Advocacy Day
May 22, 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm EDT
On May 22, we take action to nurture biodiversity!
In honor of the International Day for Biological Diversity, a critical cause for Slow Food, we are hosting a Slow Food Live event and equipping Slow Food activists in the USA to call or email their legislators about five bills we hope will support local producers and advance biodiversity. Hear from policy experts, farmers and activists about what matters to them, what the goals of our target bills are, and why we need to slow down and nurture lasting and powerful biodiversity. #BiodiversityAdvocacyDay
