For more than 30 years, at Alternativa3 we have believed in a powerful idea: what you choose every day has an impact.
In your cup, on your plate and also in the lives of the people who grow the coffee, cocoa or sugar you enjoy at home.
That is why we have created “Slow-burning revolution”, a project that brings together gastronomy, creativity and awareness to bring fair trade and social economy closer to everyday life. A simple, practical and flavour-filled proposal that shows that cooking can also be a way to change the world.
Why this project was created
We live surrounded by messages about sustainability, global justice or responsible consumption. But sometimes they sound too distant or abstract.
Cooking, on the other hand, is home, it is emotion and it is something we all understand. It allows us to explain complex ideas in an approachable way, to connect with real stories of producers and show that there are other ways of consuming: fairer, more humane and more consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Every recipe we have created is about flavours... but also about rights, climate, gender equality and sustainable agriculture. Every ingredient tells a story. And you can be part of it.
What will you find in the new recipes section
We have prepared a space designed to inspire and guide you:
- More than 20 recipes with coffee, cocoa, cane sugar and other fair trade products.
- Tips to reduce food waste, cook using less energy and choose seasonal ingredients.
- Real stories from coffee and cocoa cooperatives in the Global South.
- Educational resources to better understand what the social economy is and why it matters.

If you want to create change, start in your kitchen
Changing the world does not require big speeches; sometimes it starts with changing a recipe, an ingredient, a way of looking.
Every time you choose fair trade organic coffee, you are supporting decent work, equality and sustainability.
And when you cook it, share it or talk about it, the impact multiplies.
