Read MoreFarm to Table collaborates with hundreds of partners across the state, region and nation, creating a ripple effect that touches our lives in big and small ways – at home, in schools and in the field. Since 1996, Farm to Table has worked to strengthen the economic livelihoods of farmers by building connections to local markets, facilitating sales of local fresh produce to institutions and restaurants, by bringing healthy foods and exploratory learning to schools by way of farm to school programs, by providing trainings that highlight pollinators as allies, by assisting communities with food policy council development to strive for equity in our food system, and by gathering folks in learning environments.
Advocating for responsible, sustainable, community centered policy is vital to the progress of many federal and state food and agriculture programs. We work to minimize barriers and change local procurement structures while organizing united voices to inform policymakers about the benefits of these programs. Working across multiple initiatives helps us learn about who is involved in the food system, who is left out, what capacity looks like, and what it will take to change political and economic structures that deny people equitable access.
Through a variety of events and in-community conveneings, Farm to Table works to: bring advocacy tools to communities throughout New Mexico; educated policy makers about the importance of New Mexico’s rural and urban agricultural communities and the people they serve; celebrate and uplift farmers, ranchers and food systems workers; gather farmers and buyers together in co-learning environments to facilitate networking and problem solving.
By building local capacity we are not only creating additional resources, but we are also cultivating leaders that can bring new perspectives and experience to food systems work. The result is innovation that can be shared in other communities and other efforts.
We contribute to community vitality by helping farmers and ranchers maintain their cultural heritage, preserving ancient waterways and farmland, and keeping food in the local community, which contributes to the economic and
health resilience of all corners of New Mexico.
The Food & Farms Day Awards nominations are a great way to recognize your favorite local food champions in five different award categories. You can highlight the efforts of hard working farmers and ranchers, nonprofit organizations, health and conservation coalitions, and any business or individual contributing to the enrichment of our local food system.
