Be part of the movement driving change across NH’s Food System.
Developing the NH Food and Agriculture Strategic Plan was a collective effort, representing the work, vision, and voices of hundreds of dedicated individuals deeply committed to New Hampshire's food system; implementing the outcomes from the Strategic Plan is no different. We need you— the people working across sectors, in the fields, in the boardroom, and beyond— to drive change in our food system.
Each year, the NH Food Alliance team will produce the NH Food and Agriculture Strategic Plan Progress Report. The report summarizes the work of Strategic Plan Participating Partners (like you!) over the course of the year— what recommendations were completed and other work they took on related to the Strategic Plan— and what work they plan to take on in the year to come.
The progress report organizes the contributions of each Participating Partner through the 27 Product, Market, and Issue briefs, making it easy to see where work is happening and where there are gaps in issues not being addressed. The goal of the progress report is to weave our food system together and foster collaboration across our collective food systems work, reducing duplication and driving strategic alignment and decision making.

Become a Participating Partner
A Participating Partner is an organization or business committed to planning with us— sharing how you work, programs, and initiatives align with the NH Food and Agriculture Strategic Plan.
Each year, organizations and businesses who sign on as Participating Partners will share any specific recommendations they plan to work on and what Strategic Plan-related programs or initiatives they hope to accomplish in the year ahead. The NH Food Alliance team will weave these together in a way that helps the broader network understand who is doing what and helps each of us approach these complex issues in effective and efficient ways.
