In support of the study, Dr. Mena is also building a coalition of early childhood care providers interested in Farm to Early Childhood Education. Farm to early care and education coalition can facilitate collaborating efforts, breaking silos by creating a common place for all working in early childhood health. Dr. Mena and her team are currently looking for potential statewide partners from various sectors of influence throughout NH— education, equity, agriculture, policy, economy, health, expertise and communityThey will be reaching out later this year with more information and an update on project activities.
