Abstract

The slow food movement was undertaken to counteract the increase of fast life and encourage the interest of people in local foods. Ancient methods of preparing food were slow and rich in nutrients that help in avoiding multiple health issues. The slow food movement is a global initiative that focuses on encouraging people to avoid the consumption of fast food and switch to locally stored food. Culture and heritage were the prime concern of this movement along with focusing on nutritional values. Slow food increases the local food production with the sustainable development of farmers and local people. The study is focused on the analysis of slow food in Punjab that helps in providing the connection with the traditional values and culture. The cultural biodiversity of Punjab is the major concern of local people that improves with the adoption of slow food.
