Corn impacts Iowa in so many ways. It’s a big deal in our state — for the people growing it and the people consuming it. That’s why the Iowa Corn Promotion Board prioritizes educating growers, consumers and everyone in between about corn and corn products.
One such program that Iowa Corn invests in is the Iowa Agriculture Literacy Foundation (IALF). Founded in 2013, IALF is dedicated to helping students in our state better understand the global significance of Iowa agriculture.
By serving as a central resource for educators, IALF connects agriculture to Iowa’s core science and social studies standards, making real-world agriculture literacy and advocacy both relevant and engaging.
IALF has three main goals:
- Build educator trust by being a credible source and leader of Iowa core content connections to agriculture in K-12.
- Maintain focus on operational excellence, including fundraising, stakeholder/industry relationships and staff development.
- Collaborate with and empower a diverse group of informal educators and community partners to support the positive message of agriculture literacy in Iowa.
