Making progress on local food in Iowa

A six-member advisory council that oversees the state's new Local Food and Farm Program met for the first time this month to review progress. The program, coordinated by Craig Chase, will present a prelmiinary report to the Iowa legislature soon. Chase is interim leader of the Leopold Center's Marketing and Food Systems Initiative and the new program is based on a plan prepared by the Leopold Center a year ago. About this image: This image is from the cover of the Iowa Local Food and Farm Plan, which led to the state's new Local Food and Farm Program. Illustration by Tina Davis.
