Transforming Illinois’ farm & food system

We believe the farm and food system can be changed for good. As a statewide organization working exclusively on food and farm policy in Illinois, we build the momentum necessary to create this meaningful, systemic change.

And it’s working.

The Alliance’s recipe for success is in these four tactics:

Forging an Alliance of Farmers and Eaters

Members connect over shared values and take action together.

Building Collective Power

We bring more farmers, eaters, and allies into the movement for a just and sustainable food system.

Creating Impactful Food and Farm Solutions

We advocate for policies that benefit farmers and communities.

Developing Resilient Local Food Systems

ISA helps build a food system where Illinois farmers feed Illinois.
