Make Your Voice Heard!

Join the Iowa Food System Coalition for our annual Day on the Hill, where farmers, advocates, and community members come together to engage with policymakers and advocate for Iowa’s food system. This is your opportunity to share stories, showcase the importance of local food systems, and directly influence decisions that affect Iowa’s communities.

The event will feature opportunities to connect directly with legislators, share insights on IFSC’s 2025 policy priorities, and highlight the critical role of local food systems in Iowa’s economy, health, and communities. Participants can visit interactive tables hosted by organizations working to strengthen local food systems, learn about their impactful initiatives, and even sample value-added products made right here in Iowa.

To ensure a smooth and impactful event, we’re asking all participants to register in advance. Let us know if you’re interested in tabling with your organization. Providing your zip code will help us ensure representation from across all districts in Iowa, giving policymakers a comprehensive view of the statewide impact of local food systems.
