NH Regional Gatherings
Between August and October of 2014, ten Regional Gatherings and two farmer focus groups were held across New Hampshire. The intention of these gatherings was to gather input that will inform the development of the NH Food Strategy, and to engage additional people as a part of a growing Food System Network. These events were held regionally to allow for broader participation across the state and to get a sense for what is happening on the ground in each region relating to the food system. Over 200 people participated in these gatherings. The Backbone Organization is currently working to compile all of the input gathered thus far in preparation for drafting the NH Food Strategy, which is slated to be released at the end of 2015. Stay tuned for more details on Strategy development and additional gatherings of the Food System Network! We thank NH Listens, North Country Listens and CommonSpaceProject for offering guidance to our participatory process as well as neutral facilitation at our regional gatherings.
