The New Mexico Food and Agriculture Policy Council envisions this awards program as a catalyst to further connect and network individuals, organizations, and institutions engaging in this work, as well as a tool to leverage political and media support for local food and farm to school work happening across the state. The NMFAPC is asking YOU to help us elect the recipients of this year's awards.
Once all nominations are received, a NMAFAPC review committee will select the awardees, and they will be honored at the 2018 Food & Farms Day and School Nutrition Day at the Capitol, January 23rd, by the New Mexico School Nutrition Association President, Shelley Montgomery, and New Mexico Food & Agriculture Policy Council members. Awardees will be invited to a celebratory lunch following the ceremony, and also will receive media recognition for their great work.
