The most delicious kind of sweet bananas

For me, it's all about the bananas. Ours are the most delicious kind of sweet bananas. We call them Bogoya. ... and it's the banana project with an isolated community of farmers that blossomed into an admired example of sustainable development, using traditional planting techniques and local resources.... and then it's replicating this project in thousands of communities across Africa as part of Slow Food's Gardens in Africa initiative.These are the things that make me proud to be a member of Slow Food.
But I hear you're not yet a member. I hope you'll change that today. We need you. Our membership drive ends tomorrow at midnight. 
My personal dream is to see that people in Africa have access to good, clean and fair food. That every person can eat food that not only fills their bellies but also nourishes their lives and communities. Slow Food is the only organization I know of that has the power AND the right approach to make this happen.We can do it, but only with your help. Will you please join Slow Food today?When I heard Slow Food was planning a worldwide membership campaign, I wanted to be a part of it. I am pleased to share what it means for me to be part of Slow Food in Africa, and the pride I have in being connected to people who share my values all over the world. Please, stand with me and show that we are truly a global community.Become a member now in support of local agriculture and food biodiversity across the globe.
