Join us on January 11th as we welcome Lee Strom, Project Director for FARM Illinois. FARM Illinois (Food and Agriculture RoadMap for Illinois) is the result of a nine month effort to develop a comprehensive and integrated strategic plan to ensure sustained and innovative statewide leadership across the entire food and agriculture system. The plan evaluates the system’s current performance and recommends clear goals, strategies, and policy improvements that will position Illinois and the Chicago region as leaders in food and agriculture system innovation. The plan also aims to ensure the state’s leadership in sustainably meeting the 21st-century challenge of global and local food security.
