This year we:
- Had more direct communication with legislators than ever before, including meetings with each member of Rhode Island’s Congressional delegation.
- Brought RIFPC Farm Bill priorities directly to Washington, D.C., when Executive Director Nessa Richman met with staff from the offices of Senator Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse in July.
- Presented Senator Louis DiPalma & State Representative Carol McEntee[1] with the first annual Food Systems Changemaker Awards for outstanding legislative leadership for Rhode Island’s food system.
- Were the 2023 feature for the Rhode Island Foundation’s The Future of Food: Creating a sustainable food system report[2], and featured in several widely circulated media pieces.
