Slow Food carried out a case study to analyze the progress of these Presidia, in particular
Wichí Wild Honey in Argentina and the
Red Maasai Sheep in Kenya, both newly established Slow Food Presidia.
The Wichí people in Argentina and the Wichí Wild Honey Slow Food Presidium
“Supporting honey gathering reaffirms us as the Wichí people, especially in the face of the cultural homogenization that globalization represents. Defending honey gathering is also defending our traditional culture, knowing how to recognize our own lives and the ownership of the forest and ourselves too, since this ownership is what gives us our identity.”
