Join the Iowa Food System Coalition for our annual Food & Farm Day on the Hill, where farmers, advocates, and community members come together to engage with policymakers and advocate for Iowa’s food system. This is your opportunity to share stories, showcase the importance of local food systems, and directly influence decisions that affect Iowa’s communities.

The event will feature opportunities to connect directly with legislators, share insights on IFSC’s 2026 policy priorities, and highlight the critical role of local food systems in Iowa’s economy, health, and communities. Participants can visit interactive tables hosted by organizations working to strengthen local food systems, learn about their impactful initiatives, and even sample value-added products made right here in Iowa.

To ensure a smooth and impactful event, we’re asking all participants to register in advance. New to policy and advocacy work? You can also join us for our Fridays in February Advocacy Trainings to learn how to be comfortable with the government process. Register >
