Arizona Food System Network Annual Survey closes tomorrow!

The annual survey helps us understand who is involved in AZFSN, how they engage, and what their experience has been like.

Information collected from this survey will inform AZFSN’s operations and offerings in the coming year. It will guide both the direction and the work of the steering committee and the structure of the newly re-envisioned Network. Results from the survey will be available at the 2026 annual gathering and online on the AZFSN website.

We encourage individuals working in Arizona’s food system, including farmers and ranchers, market managers, nonprofit staff, food aggregators, researchers, and more.

Survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete and closes tomorrow!

Earlier this month, Smart Growth America () released “Dangerous by Design 2026,” a report highlighting the dangers of America’s roadways. According to the report, thousands of pedestrians are killed each year in the U.S. as a result of insufficient funding for road safety.

A key piece of our work at Pinnacle Prevention is ensuring people can move safely and joyfully from place to place. We believe these deaths can be prevented if we begin designing streets for people, not for cars.

Follow us to stay informed on how we are creating safer streets in Arizona!

You can read the full report at the link in our bio or at https://www.smartgrowthamerica.org/

The Pinnacle Prevention office will be closed Monday, May 11 through Friday, May 15 for our annual team retreat. Please reach out this week for any additional support.

We appreciate the continued support from partners and are committed to improving ourselves to better serve our communities.
