I am at the Inaugural National Gathering of “Slow Money” About 400 people have shown up to listen to a list of national leaders in this movement to find slow money to catalyze investment into the local food systems.  Much of the discussion is focused between creating a popular movement with individuals investing modest amounts of capital and also to work towards major foundations investing instead of making grants.  I am struck how much the challenges of finding investment for cultural enterprises parallels this discussion around local food systems.
