Terra Madre Salone del Gusto 2026 will take place in Turin, Italy, 24-27 September 2026.
Terra Madre is a global meeting place, four days in which Slow Food communities from over 100 countries come together to exchange experiences, strengthen alliances, and act as a movement. Through conferences, thematic itineraries, and shared spaces, food cultures once again become a driver of peace and social transformation.
2026 Terra Madre will be a crucial political moment for our movement, including the Slow Food Participants’ Assembly will define the future strategy and governance of our global network.
2026 Terra Madre events are strongly rooted in the theme of biodiversity, understood not only as agricultural diversity, but as cultural, social, and political richness. In a world threatened by homogenisation, exclusion, and multiple crises, diversity — biological, cultural, and human — is the foundation of fair and resilient food systems and the strength of our collective action as a movement.
Delegates to Terra Madre and the Participants’ Assembly will act as representatives of the Slow Food movement and their territories. They will actively engage in Terra Madre activities, contribute to shaping Slow Food’s priorities and strategies for the next four years, and exercise their voting rights in decisions regarding the future governance of the association.
