TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas Rural Center has announced that November 10th and 11th in Topeka, they will hold their Annual Food and Farm Conference. This year’s theme is “Urgency and Resilience: Cultivating a Thriving Future.”
The group says that the conventional farming mindset will need to be adjusted in order for Kansas to have a resilient and more sustainable food and farm system. The time for that change is now, and producers are not alone.
KRC is gathering experts and resources to make farm transitions successful and profitable for agricultural practitioners. These agricultural changes will help create the backbone for a healthy, local food supply to feed Kansas communities and protect the future of Kansans.
Some sessions will include: Agrivoltaics, Beginning Farmer Intensive, Farm Hacks, Hemp Facility Tour, Seed Saving, and Woman’s Learning Circle. Intensive sessions will be held on Day 1 at the Sunflower Foundation and there will be a Farm Tour at Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation’s Industrial Hemp Facility.
A Keynote and multiple sessions covering a wide array of topics on sustainability will be held at Hotel Topeka at City Center on Day 2 of the event.
The event is still seeking sponsors, and you can sign up to find out when registration opens.
