With a goal of changing our food distribution methods so that we increase local food distribution from 2% to 10% by 2025, the Northern NM Good Food Network convenes forums to address gaps in good food production and distribution. Jointly with stakeholders throughout the food system, we set goals to develop the local food system, by assisting producers in scaling up production, extending seasons, and connecting then with institutional and regional distributors, funders and policy makers.
As one of eight regional lead teams of the Good Food Network, AFSC created a NM network with five trusted partners: the New Mexico Acequia Association, Taos County Economic Development Corp., NMSU Sustainable Agriculture Science Center, Northern New Mexico Stockman’s Association, and La Montanita Co-op.
