GAS La Credenza is a collaboration between the student Slow Food Convivium at the University of Gastronomic Sciences (UNISG) and the Piedi per Terra Association. Thanks to this partnership, we have created a GAS involving a wider audience, including both the students from the University and the residents of Bra.
What is a GAS?
GAS stands for Gruppo di Acquisto Solidale. Roughly translated, this is a kind of buying club or consumer group. The GAS is coordinated by a manger from the student Condotta at the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Pollenzo, IT. We work in 'Solidarity' to purchase food and other goods directly from producers.
The primary goal of the GAS is to bring you and the producer closer together. By shortening the supply chain, we can offer local sustainable products to you at a better price, while ensuring a just price to the producer. We also minimize the environmental impact of transport by purchasing together. The GAS is a fair trade group with the best interest of producers and consumers in mind.
The products available through the GAS are selected because they meet a certain criteria for social and environmental responsibility. By in large, the producers we work with are small, organic and/or local.
Why Solidarity?
A buying group is truly supportive when it uses concept of solidarity as a guiding principle for purchasing decisions. In a GAS, solidarity exists between group members and extends outwards to the small producers, their communities, the environment, and others who - because of the unjust distribution of wealth in the conventional distribution chain - suffer the consequences of that inequitable and unsustainable development model.
