Slow Food Clemson University is a student organization that strives to work toward building a sustainable campus. Our mission is to inspire change across Clemson University and the community especially where Slow Food’s motto of good, clean, fair food has not been heard.
This program is funded in part by Slow Food Upstate with funds received from donors to the grants program and from fund raising efforts by Slow Food Upstate.
