Afghanistan Slow Food Network
The Afghanistan Slow Food Communities aim to promote good, clean, and fair food for all while advancing a sustainable, agroecological approach to agriculture. This initiative not only enhances food security but also empowers rural women by integrating them into the food system.
Slow Food Rural Women's Community officially commenced its activities in 2024 in Herat, Afghanistan. However, its members have been actively engaged in food processing and saffron production for several years. Each year, a portion of the saffron processed by the women of this community is exported abroad, while other food-processed products are sold in local markets.
