“…To contrast the climate emergency and create alternatives to the Anthropocene, inspired by Slow Food, Slow DDI is emerging. This is not an isolated case, as other slow movements have arisen, such as slow gardening, slow goods, a slower pace in cities (Cittaslow), slow dating, slow travel (Honoré, 2005), slow science (Stengers, 2017) and slow research (Almond & Connolly, 2020; Berg & Seeber, 2016).
