NEW MEXICO FOOD AND FARMS DAY
This House Memorial (HM 1) is a ceremonial resolution designating January 29, 2025, as "New Mexico Food and Farms Day." It honors specific individuals and organizations recognized for their work in local food systems, including award recipients like Silver City Farmers' Market (Good Food Award), the Student Success and Wellness Bureau (Sowing Change Award), and farmers Bryce Townsend and Casey Holland. The resolution celebrates community efforts to end hunger and strengthen New Mexico's food system through symbolic recognition, not new laws or funding. It does not impose requirements or change policies but publicly acknowledges contributions to local agriculture and food access.

Reformatted the document layout and removed bracketed markup notes from the original draft version.
Reorganized the WHEREAS clauses and RESOLVED sections for better readability while maintaining identical content.
Added page headers and footer information (HM 1, Page 1/2) to the final version.
