Currently, an estimated 90% of our food comes from outside New Hampshire and New England. The Local Food Count Project, a project of the New England Food System Planners Partnership, is a collaborative effort to measure how much food is sourced locally by institutions and food businesses across New England. Join the January Network Cafe to hear from the Project’s coordinator, Leah Rovner, as she shares how New Hampshire’s institutions and food businesses can get counted in 2026 and inform better data about what food is sourced locally. We’ll discuss how the Local Food Count Project aims to improve public policies, programs, and investments into our state’s and our region’s food system.
