Slow Money: A Networked Vision for Funding Local Food

From Working Wikily, 10 August 2009

'The vision for Slow Money is to be the Wall Street of slow food by organizing investment into local food systems. Their stated goals:

To steer significant new sources of capital to small food enterprises, appropriate-scale organic farming and local food systems; and,

To catalyze the emergence of the nurture capital industry—entrepreneurial finance supporting soil fertility, carrying capacity, sense of place, cultural and ecological diversity, and nonviolence.'
