Slow Money Waters the Crop

Slow Money is a national movement that seeks to fix our economy from the ground up, starting with food. The New York chapter has started growing quickly – they had to close registrations for a recent Meetup when they hit 70 people – about twice the capacity of the venue (Jimmy's 43, a great East Village bar).

The group sprang from a seminal book of the same name by sustainability visionary, Woody Tasch. As he pointed out, we all care about food.

They are also working on increasing access to capital for food companies who are trying to improve the sustainability of our food chain.
