Carsey Policy Hour: An Actionable Roadmap Toward Positive Change—How the NH Food and Agriculture Strategic Plan Is Changing NH's Food System
In early 2025, the NH Food Alliance, in partnership with the NH Department of Agriculture, Markets, and Food, UNH Extension, and more than 89 other food system organizations and hundreds of individuals, published the first-ever NH Food and Agriculture Strategic Plan. Join the February Carsey Policy Hour to learn about the Strategic Plan and how it's transforming the New Hampshire food system for the better.
The NH Food and Agriculture Strategic Plan proposes 143 recommendations that address 27 agriculture and food-related topics. Each recommendation lays out a specific set of suggested actions from policy changes and funding opportunities to program expansion and technical assistance, and is categorized by the stakeholders who are best suited to address it. Colleen Jennings, NH Food Alliance's Network Coordinator, will provide an overview of the Strategic Plan development and the strategies the NH Food Alliance and its network of over 360 partners are using to move it forward.
