Slow Food Bizi Ona: Basque Movement and Biodiversity

Slow Food Bizi Ona

Slow Food in the Basque Country

Our mission is to forge strong links between producers, peasants, consumers and restaurateurs of the Basque Country, by registering in the Slow Food philosophy: a good, clean and just diet.

We strive for healthy, environmentally friendly, and fair cuisine, while cultivating moments of sharing and conviviality. Supporting local producers, promoting food quality, and encouraging responsible practices are at the heart of our commitment to sustainable and innovative gastronomy. In a world where food production and consumption often neglect environmental sustainability and social equity, Slow Food Bizi Ona stands as a beacon of change, embodying the Slow Food philosophy in the Basque Country where everyone can access food that nourishes the body, respects the planet, and supports local economies. Bizi Ona supports all short supply chain initiatives that allow small producers and artisans to sell their products directly, passing on the stories of tradition, passion, and sustainability that accompany them.

The "Km 0" concept promotes local and proximity consumption as an alternative to fast food. It embodies an approach that is sustainable, healthy, economical, and deeply rooted in local identity.
