Slow Food Grand-Duché is a Slow Food Convivium. Our members care about Good, Clean and Fair Food. They also think very important to put an end to the decline of Biodiversity, to raise awareness on how our food choices have an impact on the planet...

Presentation of our organisation

Slow Food Grand-Duché is a non-profit "green" organization active in Luxembourg since 2013.
We are part of the Slow Food International Movement created in 1989 to counteract the growing negative effects of fast food and fast life.
Slow Food Grand-Duché is entirely organised and run by volunteers.
A steering Committee of 5 members meets periodically to coordinate the Convivium's activities.
If we should describe concisely our goals, we could say that we work for a world where everybody can have access to:
• good food that is tasty and healthy
• clean food that does not harm the environment
• fair food for those who produce it and for consumers who buy it.

Our next event

The purpose of the Association is to:

- develop a local network of individuals who share the principles of Slow Food and work to spread them;
- develop the organized presence of the Movement by increasing the number of registrations;
- establish relationships and collaborations with public bodies, gastronomic associations, consortia and producer associations, communication bodies, etc. to contribute to the development of a sustainable food system and knowledge of food production;
- collaborate with other associations or organizations for the protection of the environment and respect for nature, a necessary condition for the safeguarding of the gastronomic heritage and the defense and promotion of traditional knowledge and popular cultures;
