May 2022 New Hampshire Food Alliance
Annual Statewide Gathering

On May 13, 2022, farmers, non-profits, food advocates, and food-sector professionals gathered in Plymouth, NH to support and strengthen the local food system that works for all in the Granite State.

The NH Food Alliance is part of the University of New Hampshire’s Sustainability Institute. The alliance’s many members are dedicated to a food system that supports the people, businesses, communities, and the environment we all rely on.
