Terra Madre St-Lawrence is the first ever regional Terra Madre meeting of food communities organized by Slow Food in the country. It is the first regional meeting of food communities ever organized in Canada. The event aims to gather powerful organizations that share our mission for a good, clean and fair food system.

***
For the occasion, Slow Food Montréal will also be host of the Salon du Goût de Montréal, an event showcasing the products of the farmers, fishers and other producers of the communities we support, as well as the 10th National Meeting of Canadian Convivia. With all these celebrations, we wish to highlight the food communities of Quebec and the rest of Canada and offer the participants and other organizations that share our goals a place to meet and debate.
Theme of the event
Our meeting will be inspired by the themes of biodiversity and the link to the land in the honor of the 2015 UN International Year of the Soils.
Program
Our program will focus on exchange and learning opportunities between the convivia and activists of other organizations that also fight for a good, clean and fair food system, no matter the affiliation.
With our Earth workshops (forums), conferences, taste workshops, the Slow Food AGORA (an exhibit space for Slow Food international and local projects) and the Salon du Goût de Montréal, we are sure you will enjoy yourself in a meaningful way.
