Iowa will implement a new "Local Food and Farm Initiative" as part of the agriculture and natural resources budget that Governor Terry Branstad signed into law yesterday. Democratic State Representative Chuck Isenhart announced the goals of the program and some of the potential benefits in a press release, which I have posted after the jump. Isenhart thanked Branstad for signing the bill and acknowledged the bipartisan group of legislators who helped him push for this funding: Republican House Agriculture Committee Chair Annette Sweeney, Republican House Agriculture and Natural Resources Appropriations Subcommittee Chair Jack Drake, Democratic Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Joe Seng, Democratic Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Budget Subcommittee Chair Dennis Black, and Republican State Senator Hubert Houser, the ranking member of that subcommittee.
During the 2010 legislative session, the Iowa House and Senate instructed the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University to develop an "Iowa Local Food and Farm Plan." The center submitted that plan to the state legislature in January 2011. This pdf document summarizes its 34 recommendations , or you can download the whole Iowa Local Food and Farm Plan here (63-page pdf) .
Isenhart represents House district 27, covering part of Dubuque. He championed this program in part because the city's Sustainable Dubuque initiative has a goal of providing more "healthy local food" to residents.
