Food System Funding and Policy - 2

Quick Response Teams

When opportunities arise, the NH Food Alliance Backbone team coordinates a quick response team of network partners and food system experts to address, collaborate or advise.  The quick response teams currently meeting in early 2023 are: 

• American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funding team is coordinating the documentation of meaningful infrastructure projects in need of investment in New Hampshire and exploring opportunities for funding those projects
• Agricultural Land Preservation Program (ALP) team is helping to advise the re-launch of the Agricultural Land Presevation Program in partnership with the NH Deparment of Agriculture, Markets and Food
• Investing in NH's Food System team is helping the network to align around food systems' related funding requests in the 2023 NH budget cycle

If you're interested in learning about or joining any of those quick response teams, please reach out to Nicole Cardwell at nicole.cardwell@unh.edu. 

The NH Food Alliance does not endorse or oppose proposed legislation or specific candidates for elected office. Instead, we seek to inform and educate about government processes and policy issues and ideas that align with the mission of the NH Food Alliance: to grow a thriving, fair, and sustainable local food system in New Hampshire. While the NH Food Alliance is a program of the Sustainability Institute at the University of New Hampshire, our activities do not reflect the positions of the University of New Hampshire, or its Board of Trustees.
