The Slow Money
From: Emergent Agriculture
$0.60
Slow Money argues for the diversion of capital from global markets to local markets – to farms, farmers’ markets, and restaurants within one’s own foodshed. Slow Money creates an ethic around one’s personal investment strategy. Like Slow Food, Slow Money celebrates craftspeople — farmers, bakers, cheesemakers, and chefs — who focus on making a living by offering quality goods and services, often with both passion and conviction.
