Slow Food East Cork ‘Dan Saladino’s Eating to Extinction, The World’s Rarest Foods and Why We Need to Save Them’

Dan Saladino’s Eating to Extinction, The World’s Rarest Foods and Why We Need to Save Them, involved 10 years of travel and research, exploring the plight of unique food diversity and food systems which are threatened and rapidly disappearing. Inspired by Slow Food’s Ark of Taste, Dan has spent much his career as a BBC journalist investigating the impact of industrialisation on agriculture and what this also means for our food culture. In his book Dan argues the food diversity that’s now disappearing around world is essential for our future. They can add greater resilience to the food system, give us options for the future, and enrich our lives and our landscapes. In his talk Dan will share some of his favourite stories from Eating to Extinction and explain how we can all play a role in saving some of the world’s most endangered foods.
