This site features NGO partner program and project narratives, searchable by title, date, and categories. These narratives have been reported in the Illinois Nutrient Loss Reduction Strategy (NLRS) annual reports and updates. Please note that this is not an exhaustive list of all nutrient loss-related initiatives across Illinois.

The NLRS is a statewide, collaborative effort aimed at reducing the levels of nitrogen and phosphorus entering Illinois waterways. This page specifically highlights NGO-led efforts that have contributed to the strategy since 2023.

    The Illinois Alphabet Soup Group is a collection of agriculture professionals, conservation practitioners, farmer advisers, and industry partners who gather quarterly to learn about issues, strategies, programs, and resources that may encourage farmers to implement nutrient reduction and conservation practices. Meetings are hosted at various locations across the state to provide regionally-focused information and networking opportunities. While there were fewer meetings in 2020 than in the past, there are plans to host online discussions until in-person meetings can resume.

     ISAP members provide leadership for the Alphabet Soup Group, with special recognition given to AFT, TNC, ISA, and ICGA.
