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. At Slow Food, we believe that everyone has a story to tell and a lesson to teach. So come along for the ride and discover the power of food to connect us all.

In 'Voices from the Roots', Indigenous storytellers will take you to Kenya, Zambia, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Kyrgyzstan, Uganda and many other countries, to meet their communities, to visit their houses, to listen to their dreams and personal achievements.
Today we will listen to the story of Njavwa Thresa Bwalya, an indigenous Zambian girl from the Bemba tribe from the Northern part of Zambia. Her strength, determination and faith, led her to escape from a critical family situation in extreme poverty and to being the first graduated woman in her community. Thresa is a food scientist, a SFYN activist and a programme Officer at Zambia Alliance of Women. Thresa’s story is particularly inspiring and listening to it will make you reflect on your current situation and the infinite possibilities you have in front of you.
