An interesting article on Slow Food in Latvia “Latvians have a cheese named Janu siers. ‘Slow Food’ put it on the list and said that it should be saved. ‘Slow Food’ from Italy came and visited two farms where Janu siers is made. They were excited by one woman, who had one cow and was making Janu siers every day in the traditional way. One cow, one cheese, is nice; it’s organic. A lot of people who make Janu siers put in chemicals. Big companies put in a nice color and chemicals for a long expiration date, then put it in plastic; cheese should not be in plastic, it should breath,” says Martins Ritins, a pioneer of Slow Food in Latvia.

A long interview to Josh Viertel by Hannah Wallace on the way the association has changed over the years and its future challenges. “When Josh Viertel took the helm at Slow Food USA in 2008, the organization had a reputation—at least in this country—as a club for foodies. Under Viertel’s leadership, though, the organization has dispelled this image with an increasing focus on food justice issues such as improving the abysmal quality of cafeteria food and fighting “ag-gag” bills that would’ve made it illegal to take photos or videos of farms. Last month (…) Over 30,000 people came together at over 5,500 events to participate in Slow Food’s $5 challenge.”

According to the author, this is a very innovative position as “it doesn’t treat any of the problems confronting the food system as superior to others (…) laying out a case that they all need to be tackled at once”.

"The idea is to renew the social position of the small farmer, to give it life and sense. This is a huge challenge and for that you need political support," Petrini said.
