Food Systems
This collection includes a sample of the work IRIS has done on regional food systems between 2003-2020 including:
- 2003 Washington Family Farm Summit - a two-day conference IRIS convened that examined the situation facing farms, farm families and rural communities. Attendees collectively envisioned a vital and robust future for Washington family farms and identified strategies to realize that future.
- 2007 Nature of NCW video link The success of our food systems depends upon the biodiversity life that defines the region. View this video to learn about what makes our region unique.
- 2009 North Central Washington Regional Food System Assessment.
- 2011 video project, Foodways & Byways: The Story of Food in NCW
An active member of the Washington Food Policy Forum, IRIS is collaborating with others on actions we can take to strengthen our statewide and regional food systems.
