RHODE ISLAND'S FOOD STRATEGY

 

Relish Rhody is a State-led, interagency strategy to improve the food system in Rhode Island. In addition to State-level leadership, the food strategy is informed by a robust network of community partners across sub-sectors who are engaged in and energized by this effort. Designed to be an action plan, the strategy takes a holistic view of the state’s food system recognizing the ramifications to public health as well as the economic impact, cultural importance, and environmental necessity of a thriving food system.
