Why: Having been accepted to the Master of Food Culture program at the Slow Food initiated school, The University of Gastronomic Sciences, is a tremendous honor. Natalie is very fortunate to have 1 of the 50 spots made available to the approximately 1000 applicants worldwide. Having this opportunity allows her to study in northern Italy, the birthplace of Slow Food, and learn directly from its founder Carlo Petrini. With this degree and information learned, she hopes to be able to return to Phoenix to impart her knowledge of food security and biodiversity and promote those farms and ranches who actively live by these standards.
