![Slow Food's million-person, global movement relies on the connections that its International Councilors nurture. These individuals connect regional efforts and report back to the Slow Food International team. In February, a new class of International Councilors met for the first time; they will collaborate to support our movement for good, clean and fair food for all in the years ahead! 🐌
