&lt;p&gt;This collection includes a sample of the work IRIS has done on regional food systems between 2003-2020 including:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;ul&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://ncwcollections.org/items/show/426"&gt;2003 Washington Family Farm Summit&lt;/a&gt; - 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&amp;nbsp; strategies to realize that future.&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;2007 &lt;a href="https://vimeo.com/9702592" title="Nature of NCW video link"&gt;Nature of NCW video link &lt;/a&gt;The success of our food systems depends upon the diversity of life that defines the region. View this video to learn about what makes our region unique.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;2009 &lt;a href="https://ncwcollections.org/items/show/434"&gt;North Central Washington Regional Food System Assessment.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;2011 video project about wild and farmed food,&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="https://ncwcollections.org/items/show/id/1270"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Foodways &amp;amp; Byways: The Story of Food in NCW&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;/ul&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;An active member of the Washington Food Policy Forum&lt;em&gt;,&lt;/em&gt; IRIS is collaborating with others on actions we can take to strengthen our statewide and regional food systems.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

              <text>The Nature of North Central Washington celebrates the rich diversity of life that makes this portion of the Northwest special. The 12-minute video (plus credits) explores the natural systems and species that characterize the alpine, coniferous forest, shrub steppe and freshwater habitats of the north central region of Washington state. The program combines the expertise of regional scientists with that of local residents to create a portrait of biodiversity resources along with the actions people are taking across the region to conserve this natural wealth. Illustrated with photographs contributed by more than 50 local community members, The Nature of North Central Washington serves as a platform for developing additional place-based programs that focus on individual counties or habitat types and contribute to a greater understanding of the biodiversity resources of the region.</text>
