Slow Food Founder at Yale
The Yale Sustainable Food Project is honored to host Carlo Petrini, Founder and President of Slow Food International, on Tuesday, April 20, at 6:00 pm.
The event is free and open to the public (with limited seating on a first-come, first-served basis).
Tuesday, April 20, 6:00 pm
Burke Auditorium, Kroon Hall
Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies
195 Prospect Street, New Haven, Connecticut
Mr. Petrini is a vibrant force who has led the Slow Food movement to great international visibility. In 2004, he was named a “European Hero” by Time magazine and in January 2008 he was the only Italian to appear in The Guardian’s list of “50 People Who Could Save the World.” At Yale, he will present a talk on the international Slow Food movement and his new book, Terra Madre: Forging a New Global Network of Sustainable Food Communities.
At the core of Slow Food’s mission is the belief that food should taste good; that it should be produced in a clean way that does not harm the environment, animal welfare, or our health; and that food producers should receive fair compensation for their work.
Mr. Petrini’s visit is cosponsored by Yale’s School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, Yale’s Office of Sustainability, Yale Dining, and the Yale Sustainable Food Project.

This is great. we are milkmen here in Connecticut as in other states in these United States. we deliver fresh milk and dairy and other sustainable agricultural foods direct to the consumer. Farm to Table. Grass fed Beef. Pastured poultry. Organic and free range chicken eggs, fresh vegetables from local farms, and more. The Milkmen deliver.
The Milkman is Back!
And we love Carlo Petrini, Michael Pollan, David Gumpert of The Raw Milk Revolution, Dr. Jane Goodall of Harvest for Hope, and many others who tell the truth about foods and our world in relation to these foods. Why we must all take part in the natural world in a positive way, treat animals and plant life with respect, and appreciate local, slow foods, and sustainable agricultural systems.
Thank you.
The Milkmen USA
Thanks so much for your comment! I am familiar with the area, having grown up in Western Mass. – next door to a small dairy on which I worked from the time i was old enough to throw a square bale. I grew up on fresh milk, and I also saw so many small farmers selling to the pool go out of business and the negative effect that had on my own community, that I couldn’t agree more. We need to be producing as much food locally as possible. Keep up the good work. I’ll try to visit if I get the chance when I am back visiting my family in that area. Go milkmen (and women)!
