Illinois cannot be left behind. The Illinois Food, Farms, and Jobs Act was passed in August 2009 to help schools and other institutions purchase more locally-grown food. But how do we reach the goal of sourcing 10% of the food served to our children from local sources by 2020?

To help reach this goal, F2S and Northwestern's M.S. of Learning and Organizational Change program are administering a survey to learn more about local food sourcing in schools across the state. Results from the survey will equip ILF2S to educate and promote the increase of local and organic foods in Illinois children's school diets.

We need your participation. Please consider taking the survey if you are:

1. An Illinois resident, and

2. Currently any one of the following:

• A K-12 teacher
• A K-12 principal
• An K-12 superintendent
• A K-12 school food director (or equivalent)
• A K-12 parent
• A farmer
