The Iowa Food System Coalition (IFSC) was formed to chart a course toward a thriving, sustainable, and equitable food system in Iowa. The Coalition continues to grow, building upon the group of more than 40 farm and food system partners representing farmers, nonprofit organizations, government, universities, Extension, public health, food banks and pantries, public schools who helped develop the plan.

The Coalition developed the Iowa Food System Plan -  a description of the food system we envision, goals for our communities and the strategies to achieve results, and highlights the partners engaged in this work.  The Coalition will work to improve Iowa’s food landscape through promoting regular communications and collaboration among partners, cross-sectional strategic reporting and planning, and by highlighting important food and farming work throughout the state. IFSC will create shared assessment tools to document Iowa’s success in reaching the Plan’s goals and will work with partners to ensure accountability and transparency.
