TYPE OF WORK
The Iowa Food & Family Project unites Iowans in greater understanding,
awareness and appreciation about the continuous improvement of today's
farmers and the dedication of those involved in the food system to
providing wholesome food for everyone. The Iowa Food & Family Project
is an activity-led initiative that brings together Iowans from all walks of life -
- farmers and farm families, teachers, students, health professionals, food
retailers, manufacturers, bankers and lenders, academia, agronomists,
transportation specialists and people of faith.
All those who are involved in the Iowa Food & Family Project believe in the
increasingly significant role Iowa plays in feeding and fueling our state,
nation and the world. They want all farmers to prosper. They believe that
food should be respected and valued. They believe every person involved
in today's food system brings something to the table. The Iowa Food &
Family Project was created in 2011 by the Iowa Soybean Association,
involves more than 35 dedicated partners and proudly serves as
presenting sponsor of the Iowa Games and supporter of Live Healthy
Iowa. It is funded in part by soybean, pork, beef, egg, corn, turkey and
dairy checkoffs.
