The 'Incredible Edible' project began with a few illicitly planted herbs in flower beds near the railway station. Voluntary enthusiasts have since helped the project to grow and today, most of the town's inhabitants are involved in the project's many initiatives in some way or other. At the same time, unauthorised methods have been shelved and the Incredible Edible project has led to positive dialogue with public and private institutions. The intention is to make Todmorden a garden town full of tasty, fresh produce which the townspeople can harvest or pick on their way through the town.

Brá, Italy, has about 30,000 inhabitants and is located about 50 kilometres south of Turin, in a gastronomic region known for, among other things, its wines, truffles and cheese. Brá is one of the founding cities in the Cittaslow movement. The inspiration to create slow cities came from the Slow Food movement with international head office and own restaurant in Brá. Earlier the city contained major footwear industry, but today the slow movement is the highest-profile business.
