Terra Madre Salone Del Gusto
a worldwide Slow Food festival to unite our food, our planet, and our future.
Every two years, the global Slow Food movement comes together in Turin, Italy, for Terra Madre Salone del Gusto—the world's largest gathering dedicated to good, clean, and fair food.
More than a food festival, Terra Madre is where farmers, fishers, Indigenous leaders, cooks, artisans, food producers, scientists, activists, educators, and food lovers from more than 120 countries gather to exchange ideas, celebrate biodiversity, and build a better food system for future generations.
Whether you're deeply involved in Slow Food or simply passionate about food and community, Terra Madre is an unforgettable experience.
The 2026 Theme: Biodiversity
The 2026 edition celebrates biodiversity as the foundation of resilient food systems and thriving communities.
Throughout the event, conversations, workshops, markets, and tastings will explore how biodiversity strengthens our farms, protects traditional knowledge, supports local economies, and helps communities adapt to climate change. The event will also highlight many of Slow Food's global projects, including:
Slow Food Farms
Slow Food Presidia
The Ark of Taste
Slow Food Cooks' Alliance
As Slow Food reminds us, biodiversity is not only about plants and animals—it is also about cultures, traditions, knowledge, and the relationships that connect us all.
