InterAction, an alliance of nongovernmental organizations, serves as a convener, thought leader and voice for the community. The alliance held its first ever innovation fair on June 14, 2016. Twenty universities, companies, nonprofits and other organizations attended the fair to discuss issues in food security. These entities came together to share different strategies for creating lasting change, reducing poverty, and improving food and nutritional security in communities throughout the world. SIIL was one of the 20 organizations present sharing current research efforts on the issue of sustainable intensification. Dr. B. Jan Middendorf, Associate Director of SIIL, represented the Lab at the event and had the opportunity to interact with Rep. Lynn Jenkins (KS). Rep. Jenkins is the co-chair of the House Hunger Caucus.
