The tumult gave birth to the Slow Food Movement , a grassroots campaign to defend and promote regional heritage, culinary traditions, and a less frenetic pace of life. Since then, “slow food” has become part of a global lexicon whose principles have spread around the world. So, when Slow Food International began to think about a second location for its legendary festival Terra Madre, which is held annually in Turin, Italy, they naturally gravitated toward the region. The concert element is one of the biggest differences between Sacramento’s Slow Food festival and the original in Turin. Like the Farm-to-Fork Festival in past years, Terra Madre Americas will include an impressive concert lineup.
