Carsey Policy Hour: How the NH Food and Agriculture Strategic Plan Is Changing NH's Food System

In early 2025, the NH 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. The NH Food and Agriculture Strategic Plan proposes 143 recommendations that address 27 agriculture and food-related topics. Each recommendation lays out a specific suggested action, from policy changes and funding opportunities to program expansion and technical assistance, and is categorized by stakeholders who are best suited to address it. In this Carsey Policy Hour, Colleen Jennings, NH Food Alliance's Network Coordinator, provided 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.
