Iowa State University - Iowa Alliance for cooperative business development

The Iowa Alliance for Cooperative Business Development was initiated through a USDA Rural Business Development grant. The Alliance combines outreach and research programs that provide rural Iowans with viable alternatives for economic development.
The goal of the Alliance is to initiate and strengthen producer cooperatives in Iowa through assessment of new business opportunities in biodiesel, identification and evaluation of new producer-owned cooperative and business structures, business development assistance, and cooperative director training in strategic and financial management.
