Food and Health Crisis in Haiti
Haiti has recently been struck by a devastating earthquake. There have been reported estimates of more than 100,000 lives lost with numbers on the rise. Those that have survived need our help. We feel the most efficient way to get the desperately needed food, water and medical support to the survivors is to donate to organizations that have existing programs on the ground in Haiti. We recommend that you support Food First (Institute for Food & Development Policy) who have identified several reliable organizations that have the infrastructure and experience to provide this support. Please support them in their efforts. You can find out more information at http://www.foodfirst.org/en/node/2743






Slow Food’s philosophy is stated: “Slow Food is good, clean and fair food. We believe that the food we eat should taste good; that it should be produced in a clean way that does not harm the environment, animal welfare or our health; and that food producers should receive fair compensation for their work”.
