Here is a quote (San Francisco Chronicle by way of CommonDreams.org) from one of the Terra Madre participants:
San Franciscan Cosentino, who participated in a panel on meats, said he felt a divide between affluent chefs like himself and struggling farmers from poorer regions—a divide that Slow Food has yet to bridge.
“I complain because we can’t get lungs,” he said of federal laws that ban what for some is a delicacy. In contrast, a Kenyan livestock farmer on the same panel described how water shortages and power failures decimate his cattle before he can get them to slaughter, threatening his entire livelihood.
“There’s this disconnect,” Cosentino said of the enormous disparity in resources among participants in the conference.
I would like to see Slow Food USA spearhead a world-wide initiative to help these, and ultimately all small farmers. And we don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
Jon Kohler, 04:20 PM - 31 October 06Just start by opening a dialogue with Oxfam International and Nobel winner Muhammad Yunus of Grameen Bank,the micro-lender.
Who knows what great ideas could come of this.
Start talking!
This disconnect is a serious bridge we need to gap. And it is not insurmountable. there are so many organizations doing good work that Slow Food can connect with. We have to work together with those who carry the same ideals and put the solution out in the field to start creating positive results. Farmers all over the world not only need to be introduced to eachother but have a concrete way to solve local problems with the universal knowledge of their counter parts from outside their regions.
