Taking Back Life: The Earth, the Moon and Abundance is the title of Carlo Petrini's address to the meeting of the National Boards (from Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom and United States of America) of Slow Food, held in Pollenzo on 17-18 February 2007.

Slow Food UK held its first AGM on 3 February near its office in Ludlow, near the Welsh border in the south of Shropshire. Slow Food UK thanks all those of you who were able to come. The minutes of the meeting have now been released (but remain in draft form until approved at the next SFUK AGM).  You can download them here .

John Fleming and Sue Miller subsequently agreed to be co-opted to the new Board.

Occasioned by the proxy response from Slow Food London, representatives of the outgoing Board of Slow Food UK met with a delegation from London before the AGM. From this meeting came an agreement to create a small working group with representation on a UK-wide basis, to be chaired by Mary Liddell (SFLondon). This has now formally been convened by the new Board, and the terms of reference can be seen here, along with the opportunity to comment on the Working Group's suggestions and proposals.
