Slow Food invites the world to eat local on Terra Madre Day, a global celebration, December 10, 2010.

The organizers share that "in 2009 the very first Terra Madre Day organized by Slow Food saw more than 1,000 events take place across 120 countries in one of the largest collective occasions celebrating food diversity and the right to good, clean and fair food ever achieved on a global scale."

They showcase Adrienne in Mumbai as an example of Urban Garden advocates:

"She hands you fresh basil leaves, straight from the plant, at the herb garden she is growing on the terrace of co-working space The Bombay Hub in Bandra. They are more aromatic than any basil you'll buy from a packet. The 23 year-old wants the rest of Mumbai to discover the joys of eating food you've grown yourself.
Her new social initiative Fresh and Local will raise awareness about community gardening and edible landscaping."

On its second edition Terra Madre Day will use the opportunity to raise funds for A Thousand Gardens in Africa project.
