***Announcing the 2023 Food & Farms Day Awards***
January 26, 2023 at the NM State Capitol from 9:00-12:00pm
The annual New Mexico Food & Farms Day Awards celebrate our life
together in community as we recognize the achievements of leaders around
the state who contribute to the extraordinary vibrancy of local food, farming,
culture, and tradition in New Mexico.
The Awards are intended to ignite a statewide passion around local food
that ultimately creates change in thinking, systems, and approaches to food
production, use, distribution, and policy.
Awardees will be honored on New Mexico Food & Farms Day on
January 26, 2023. A special highlight of this year's Awards is the Visionary
New Mexico Award which will be given to the Office of Governor
Michelle Lujan Grisham for extraordinary leadership in creating the New
Mexico Food Initiative, a 24.7 million dollar statewide program supporting
food systems, hunger relief, and farming in New Mexico.
Legislative Sponsors for Food & Farms Day are Senators Pete Campos
and Liz Stefanics and Representative Joanne Ferrary.
There is no cost to attend. For more information, please visit: https://nmfoodpolicy.org/2023-food-farms-day/
