&lt;p&gt;This collection includes a sample of the work IRIS has done on regional food systems between 2003-2020 including:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;ul&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://ncwcollections.org/items/show/426"&gt;2003 Washington Family Farm Summit&lt;/a&gt; - a two-day conference IRIS convened that examined the situation facing farms, farm families and rural communities. Attendees collectively envisioned a vital and robust future for Washington family farms and identified&amp;nbsp; strategies to realize that future.&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;2007 &lt;a href="https://vimeo.com/9702592" title="Nature of NCW video link"&gt;Nature of NCW video link &lt;/a&gt;The success of our food systems depends upon the diversity of life that defines the region. View this video to learn about what makes our region unique.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;2009 &lt;a href="https://ncwcollections.org/items/show/434"&gt;North Central Washington Regional Food System Assessment.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;li&gt;2011 video project about wild and farmed food,&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="https://ncwcollections.org/items/show/id/1270"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Foodways &amp;amp; Byways: The Story of Food in NCW&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#13;
&lt;/ul&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;An active member of the Washington Food Policy Forum&lt;em&gt;,&lt;/em&gt; IRIS is collaborating with others on actions we can take to strengthen our statewide and regional food systems.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
