Illinois Stewardship Alliance - Promoting family farmers and local food systems The Illinois Stewardship Alliance promotes ecologically sustainable, economically viable, socially just local food systems through policy development, advocacy and education. We advocate for local farmers and educate local consumers to promote the establishment of sustainable local food systems in the state of Illinois through programs and legislative work. We are an alliance of individuals and institutions concerned with agriculture, health, nutrition, community and economic development, social justice, the environment. Food is a holistic issue that touches all of us. Every person eats and every day we make a choice whether we will be passive consumers of food or active food citizens. FOOD SYSTEM definition: the chain of activities linking food production, processing, distribution and access, consumption and waste management
