Iowa Food System Coalition to showcase local food in Rotunda, lawmaker says
Summary
A Woodbury representative invited the Iowa Food System Coalition to the Statehouse Rotunda for a 2–5 p.m. showcase of local foods, saying the coalition brings together farmers, food banks and organizations to strengthen Iowa's food system.
Representative Scholten invited members of the Iowa Food System Coalition to the Statehouse Rotunda and encouraged colleagues to visit the display. "The coalition brings together farmers, food banks, and other organizations that are working to strengthen Iowa's food system and ensure more of the food that we eat is grown and produced within our state," the representative said.
Representative Scholten said the coalition would be in the Rotunda from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. with "some amazing local food samples" and urged lawmakers to "go visit them and learn more about how lawmakers can help local food thrive."
The announcement presented the event as an opportunity to connect lawmakers with farm and food-bank partners. The representative did not provide legislative proposals or funding requests tied to the visit during the remarks.
