On My Plate Challenge: Fair Food.

This is the third episode dedicated to the On My Plate Challenge of Slow Food: what is fair food? We will explore its meanings with three interviewees, from Rome, Paris and New York. The three special guests of today are:

• Diletta Bellotti is a young human rights advocate and founder of the “pomodori rosso sangue” movement (bloody red tomatoes). She is actively campaigning against organized crime, especially when it comes to labour force exploitation and migration. Today she will talk to us about the Caporalato phenomenon, a particular type of labour exploitation in agriculture (and not only);
• Bastien Beaufort is assistant director of Guayapi, a fair trade company based in Paris and which commercializes products from the Amazon and from Sri Lanka. Among their products they are also trading the Waraná from the Slow Food Presidium of the Sateré Mawé community in the Brazilian Amazon;
• Nevin Cohen is Associate Professor at the City University of NY at the School of Public Health and he is Research Director of the CUNY Urban Food Policy Institute. Together with Kristin Reynolds he wrote the book: “Beyond the Kale: Urban Agriculture and Social Justice Activism in New York City”.
