What does food sustainability really look like on the ground? In Taiwan’s southeastern county of Taitung, the Slow Food Festival offers a powerful answer: one rooted in local food culture, community knowledge, and everyday practice. In this episode of Sustainable Footprints, host Pai Pei-hua sits down with Kuo Li-chin (#郭麗津) , founder of the Taitung Slow Food Festival, to explore how food can become a tool for sustainability, cultural preservation, and global connection. From Indigenous food traditions and zero-waste practices to wild harvesting and international exchange, the festival demonstrates how local action can travel far beyond its place of origin, reaching the global Slow Food stage at events like Terra Madre in Italy. This is a story about food, people, and the quiet power of choosing differently, one meal at a time.
