This Closing New Mexico's Food Gap is a compilation of research conducted by the New Mexico Food and Agriculture Policy Council during the months of September 2005 to February 2006. This research was done through a community food security assessment of rural New Mexico's: grocery stores, transportation services, community programs, school food programs, farming practices, and traditional food. The assessment was conducted utilizing four focus group sessions and interviews in four separate counties. From the data collected the New Mexico Food and Agriculture Policy Council has developed an extensive list of recommendations that, if implemented, would be a systematic approach to increasing access to healthy, affordable, and culturally significant foods to rural undeserved communities.
