NH Food Alliance Statewide Gathering and February events & resources

NH Food System Statewide Gathering

The NH Food Alliance hosts this year's NH Food System Statewide Gathering, March 11-12, 2021. REGISTER HERE. 

The NH Food System Statewide Gathering is the only event in New Hampshire bringing together individuals, businesses, and organizations across sectors who are dedicated to growing an improved local food system that works for all in the Granite State: people, businesses, communities, and the environment. Under the theme “Harvesting the Momentum: The Power of Local in Building a Reliable Food System,” the Statewide Gathering will provide a forum to share the innovative food and agricultural responses to COVID-19 that developed across the state and explore more opportunities to emphasize the “power of local” in building a resilient and vibrant future for the NH food system.

The 2021 NH Food System Statewide Gathering's agenda features a variety of roundtable discussions, a Meet New Hampshire Makers virtual tasting event, a keynote address by Laura Brown of Fox Point Oysters, and Closing Notes & Call to Action by Evan Mallet of the Black Trumpet.

The 2021 NH Food System Statewide Gathering is presented in partnership with Sustainable UNH, the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund, UNH Extension, the Cooperative Development Institute, Greater Nashua Food Council, Vital Communities, Genuine Local, Seacoast Eat Local, Belknap County Conservation District, the National Center for Appropriate Technology, NH Farm to School, and Co-op Food Stores.
