The Illinois Sustainable Ag Partnership (ISAP) is a coalition of organizations working collaboratively on programs that promote whole system conservation with a focus on soil health and water management to reduce nutrient losses and meet sustainability goals (ilsustainableag.org/). The partnership is providing coordination across sustainable agriculture programs and with other partners in the state.
Experts and scientists provide technical advice for farmers, retailers, and advisors through online and printed materials and through online forums around soil health and conservation drainage. Efforts will focus on translating technical information and designing programs to reach average farmers and their advisors. Members of ISAP include American Farmland Trust, Association of Illinois Soil and Water Conservation Districts, Illinois Central College, Illinois Corn Growers Association, Illinois Land Improvement Contractors Association, Precision Conservation Management, Soil Health Partnership, The Nature Conservancy (TNC), The Wetlands Initiative, University of Illinois Extension, and The Zea Mays Foundation.
