5 Essential Green Living Skills Our Grandparents Knew - Planet Green. What Is 'Slow Money'? Dear EarthTalk: I've heard of the slow food movement, but what is “slow money” all about? -- Phil Nimkoff, New York, NY “Slow Money” is the name for a movement started by socially conscious investing pioneer and author, Woody Tasch, who essentially borrowed the conceptual framework of “Slow Food”—whereby participants eschew convenience-oriented “fast” foods, instead filling up their plates with traditional, unprocessed and, ideally, locally produced foods—and applied it to personal finance and investing.
As such, Slow Money is dedicated to connecting investors to their local economies by marshaling financial resources to invest in small food enterprises and local food systems. Tasch started Slow Money in November 2008 after the publication of his book, Inquiries into the Nature of Slow Money: Investing as if Food, Farms and Fertility Mattered. Another key to achieving Tasch’s goal is growth of leadership at the local level. CONTACTS: Slow Money, www.slowmoney.org. Permaculture Magazine - Inspiration for Sustainable Living.
