Goals
- Promote the expansion of the production of local foods.
- Increase consumer and institutional spending on Iowa-produced and marketed foods.
- Increase the profit to farmers and businesses engaged in local foods.
- Increase the number of jobs associated with a vibrant local food system.

Join us for workshops where you will have plenty of time to learn what’s happening with local foods from three different avenues: business, food incentives (Farm to School and Farm to Institution) and beginning and minority farmers, and to share your own expertise. Visit the exhibits, network with others and enjoy locally sourced meals prepared by ISU Dining!
