The core of the NH Food and Agriculture Strategic Plan will consist of 26 briefs covering the products, markets, and issues that are pivotal to a thriving food system in New Hampshire. Each brief will address a specific topic through the lenses of farm viability and equity — current status, barriers, opportunities and 3-5 specific recommendations from the authors on how to improve, advance, or address the challenges stated in each brief.
Brief recommendations will be grouped by geographic scope (national, regional, state, and county/city/town) and by sphere of influence (who has the power to take action on the recommendation) to create clear paths for action enacting change across our food system. Please view the list of brief topics below, organized into products, markets, and issues. Input from the NH Food Alliance network and food system stakeholders will inform the products, markets, and issues covered, as well as who will contribute to each brief, what issues are important to consider, what information is critical to include, and how to categorize final recommendations.
