Year of Terra Madre – The Slow Food Conference
Are you interested in participating the global Slow Food conference, Terra Madre 2026 ? Event will take place in Turin, Italy, from 24 to 27 September 2026, across the city’s historic squares and palaces.
Terra Madre is our global meeting place: four days in which Slow Food communities from over 100 countries come together to exchange experiences, strengthen alliances, and act as a movement.
The 2026 Terra Madre edition will be a crucial political moment for our movement. Taking place at the heart of Terra Madre, the Slow Food Participants’ Assembly (formerly the International Congress) will define the future strategy and governance of our global network.
Both events are strongly rooted in the theme of biodiversity, understood not only as agricultural diversity, but as cultural, social, and political richness. In a world threatened by homogenisation, exclusion, and multiple crises, diversity — biological, cultural, and human — is the foundation of fair and resilient food systems and the strength of our collective action as a movement.
Delegates to Terra Madre and the Participants’ Assembly will act as representatives of the Slow Food movement and their territories. They will actively engage in Terra Madre activities, contribute to shaping Slow Food’s priorities and strategies for the next four years, and exercise their voting rights in decisions regarding the future governance of the association.
