Learn About and Explore Food Systems & Sustainable Agriculture

4-H Community Agriculture focuses on developing community-based education around food systems, food access and sustainable agriculture practices that will help guide us into the future.  

Explore where the food you eat, the clothes you wear and the resources you use on a daily basis come from, and the processes and the people that put them there.  Learn about our local NH food systems, how we can access fresh, healthy foods and the sustainable agriculture that will feed us for the future, while protecting the environment we live in.  The fabric of NH has been built on an agricultural legacy that continues today.
