Abstract:

Eco-friendly lifestyle is becoming more widely spread across all parts of the planet. ‘Back to nature and traditions’ movements are appearing as an alternative model of our consumer society. In this sense ‘Slow Food movement’, with its philosophy for “good, clean and fair food”, is a popular focus for research to define alternative consumer practices and eco-friendly movements in Bulgaria. The current paper will examine two of the functioning in Bulgaria projects of Slow Food International movement – “Smilyan Beans” Presidia and “Tcherni Vit Green Cheese” Presidia and will try to give an answer to the questions: how projects in Bulgaria are developed based on the ‘Slow Food’ principles and how local specifics and the global organization interact with each other.
