FIG joins Illinois Stewardship Alliance
November 13, 2009
The FIG Board has approved joining the Illinois Stewardship Alliance (ISA). The ISA is a statewide organization based in Springfield that states its mission to “promote ecologically sustainable, economically viable, socially just local food systems through policy development, advocacy and education.”
ISA Executive Director Lindsay Record recently hosted two statewide conference calls that included FIG Chair Dan Barclay and other leaders of similar organizations around Illinois. A conference in Bloomington is planned for late February or early March 2010 that will help Illinois local food organizations learn of successful local food projects around the state and identify resources to accomplish their goals.
