If you are working to create healthy soil, clean water and keep farms profitable in the process, the Illinois Sustainable Ag Partnership (ISAP) wants to hear and share your story.
ISAP is comprised of 15 organizations working collaboratively to encourage the adoption of sustainable and profitable production practices that improve soil health and restore local waters. The Partnership’s primary efforts are focused on supporting Illinois agriculture in meeting the goals of the Illinois Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy by using data and education to increase the technical capacity of ag professionals while minimizing risk and increasing profits for farmers. The Wetlands Initiative (our parent organization) is a founding member of ISAP.
Programs are based on a combination of academic and on-farm research data, employing a “train-the-trainer” approach that results in a cadre of professionals who are able to inform and influence producers across the state. Programs can be grouped into four “Program Pillars” which guide the education, research, and outreach efforts of the Partnership.
The Conservation Story Map is one of the groups ways of tell success stories and sharing the expertise gained by farmers and ag professionals with others looking for ways to help their farms and clients become more sustainable. We encourage you to connect with individuals and businesses listed on the map and invite you to put your own pin on the map
