The council will also work with the Des Moines Area Community College's Culinary Curriculum program to help them introduce soyfoods into their classes. Through the Soyfoods Communication program such as Hy-Vee, Iowa Dietics Association and the Iowa Consulting Dieticians to increase the awareness of soyfoods. In April, the council will partner with Lighten Up Iowa to promote Soyfoods Month. Staff will provide weekly information and recipes for soyfoods and will award 20 soyfoods gift baskets at the end of the month. The council will also collaborate with other Iowa ag groups to host another food editor and chef tour during the summer of 2005.
