This Memorial officially designates February 8, 2022, as "New Mexico Food and Farms Day" within the Senate to honor and celebrate local food, farming, and ranching efforts that contribute to a strong economy and aim to end hunger by ensuring everyone in New Mexico has access to fresh, healthy food. The day also recognizes specific 2022 award recipients for their outstanding contributions in areas such as farmers' markets, sustainable food systems, farming and ranching leadership, new farmers, land stewardship, and the "New Mexico Grown" program, which highlights local food initiatives in schools and senior programs.
