Bow Forum: 4/29 (Sun) 13:00~15:00 @ Treasure Hill Green Field Stage

Topic: Not Just Slow Living and Organic - The Slow Food Movement
Speakers: Nelson (Wei Nianzu), moderator of the SlowItaly fan page, & Guang Ba (Li Zhenjun) of Xiaodong River Handicraft Workshop

The concept of slow food includes: good - so-called quality and naturalness, the distinction between objectivity and subjectivity; clean - the "sustainability" of food production and "0km" in the transport process; fair - not only fair trade in the structure of the production and marketing chain. We have invited Nelson to discuss, through film, starting from the process of modern industrialized food production, and then to understand the ideas covered by slow food, and to discuss issues we have recently been concerned about around us, such as American beef or avian flu. Guang Ba of Xiaodong River Handicraft Workshop will also continue the concept of slow food in the forum and share with everyone the life of practicing slow food in the countryside!
