About this episode

The episode features an interview with Edward Mukiibi, discussing his role in leading Slow Food International and advocating for food justice.

What does it mean to lead a global movement of local communities fighting for good, clean and fair food? We interviewed Edie Mukiibi, President of Slow Food International since 2022, following in the footsteps and the vision of founder Carlo Petrini. An agronomist, educator, and passionate advocate for food justice, Edie was born into a Ugandan farming family—the same year Slow Food was founded. He’s dedicated his life to making agriculture and food culture a source of dignity and empowerment for people. From his early work on the Slow Food Gardens in Uganda to now leading a movement spanning over 2000 local groups worldwide, Edie is reshaping the narrative around food, farming, and the future of our planet. This is Juicy Gastronomes — our journey through the stories of gastronomes around the world. #unisglife Link: Seguici su Instagram per altre cose succosissime → https://www.instagram.com/thisisjuice_ig/ Scopri il mondo UNISG → https://www.unisg.it/ Iscriviti al nostro gruppo Telegram → https://t.me/thisisjuice I consigli della Piccola Pasticceria → https://linkpop.com/juice-slug-juice Seguici su Facebook → www.facebook.com/thisisjuice.fb Il nostro sito →…
