Welcome to Slow Food, the podcast! Where we take you on a journey through the beauty of good, clean, and fair food systems. From the coffee in your cup to the cacao in your chocolate, we uncover the stories of the people who make our food possible. Valentina Gritti, a lover of slow food, is your host on this journey. Join us as we walk side-by-side with changemakers around the world who are working towards a more sustainable food system. We’ll also delve into the rich cultural knowledge of indigenous communities, opening our minds to new ways of thinking about food.

Tuna is a big predator and consumes a wide variety of other fish, making it a vital component of the sea ecosystems. It’s also one of the most expensive fish on the planet. Yet tuna is also an affordable and widely-available source of protein around the world, and herein lies the problem.
Can fishing Tuna ever be sustainable? Which guidelines can we follow to buy the Tuna Fish with the least impact? Is Tuna a healthy food? And most of all, can we still eat Tuna?
