To mark our golden anniversary – and shape the future of the Alliance – we are inviting farmers, eaters and food system leaders together to help set the table for a bold new food and farm future in Illinois in the next 50.
From May through August, we’re hosting a series of over a dozen events across the state to gather input on the most pressing challenges in the food system and the solutions needed to tackle them.
The events will also feature food and fellowship to bring our community closer together and build the relationships needed to create lasting change.
Your input will help inform the Alliance’s first long-term Policy Platform.
