    While most research on the Slow Food movement focuses on developed nations, it has become a global phenomenon. Although Vietnam does not have a long history with the movement, traditional Vietnamese cuisine shares some of its core values, such as using locally sourced ingredients and eating meals slowly. Several reasons explain why fast food brands have failed to dominate Vietnam's food culture, particularly the appreciation among Vietnamese for traditional cuisine. The Slow Food movement promotes sustainable food production, distribution, and preparation as integral to culture and the future. In Vietnam, conferences aim to inspire local, clean, and fair food while educating youth. Vietnamese government policies also encourage sustainable agriculture through tax incentives for reducing pesticide and fertilizer use.

    Majority of research paper related to Slow food movement focus on developed nations, however this

    movement has become a global phenomenon with local groups and projects in every continent
    including VietNam – a developing country. Although VietNam don’t have a long hystory with the
    movement, but traditional Vietnamese cuisine still share some common value with Slow food
    movement’spirit. There are several reasons why global fastfood brands like McDonald’s, KFC…. fail to
    dominant Vietnam Food Culture but the main cause is that most of Vietnamese appreciate and love the
    core values of our cuisine which are “build up a meal by using locally sourced ingredients and cooking
    and eating at a slow pace”. Those are also two most important values in the Slow food’s phylosophy.

    The Slow food movement takes a moral, social, and economic stance on food production, distribution
    and preparation and according to the idea of food of Terra Madre project – the most ambitious and
    complex project of Slow food movement, they define food as not only a source of nourishment, but also
    our history and identify, our culture and health, out land and our future. Vietnamese take that
    perception seriously. More often than not, many conferences and workshop are conducted in order to
    inspire and promote local good, clean, and fair food and safeguard traditional cooking as well as to build
    a network of good clean and fair food for farmers or co-producers and eaters. Those events usually are
    held at high schools and universities, which in turn grow the awareness of young people about
    traditional quality food products and how to produce food products that don’t harm the environment
    and human health.

    Another vision of the Slow Food movement is to promote sustainable practices in order to achieve a
    sustainable way of life. Therefore, if we define sustainable development as ‘development that meets the
    needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”
    (World Commission on Environment and Development 1987) then most of modern agriculture of
    nations in the world including VietNam will not fit it, but VietNam long for changing the situation.
    Vietnamese government implement policies (like tax incentives) to encourage the local growers and
    producers cultivating without the use of pesticides and fertilizers. For example, for those producers who
    follow the cultivation method above they would be able to enjoy the preferential tax rate of 10 percent
    for 15 years. The government also offer many financial benefits for those maintream enterprises which
    apply Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) (a direct-to-consumer distribution model and kind of
    partnership between local farmers and customers, who pay the farmers a set price before the growing
    season for a share of the farm's harvest), CSA is considered as one of the mechanisms of improving
    access to fresh fruits and vegetables for low-income households (Hanson et al., 2017).
