This endeavor was carried out with the two goals. One is to integrate IPs’ wisdom with Slow Food philosophy to promote a common understanding that traditional diets, as well as local community food culture, could play an essential role in addressing social issues. The second goal is to transmit this lesson forward to the next generation.

Workshops and virtual field trips were organized to stimulate mutual learning among IPs in Asia Pacific region. A Yanbaru member of Slow Food Ryukyus introduced Sabani and the pork-eating customs of the Ryukyus. 

【Year ２】
