The Kansas Rural Center’s Food and Farm Conference is coming to the Springhill Suites in Lawrence, KS.

Join farmers, organizations, and community members for a powerful day of collaboration, connection, and vision-building. Together, we’ll explore how to strengthen our communities and support each other in changing times.

Conference topics will include:

Policy and Advocacy: What constituents need to know and how to advocate for the health of our land and people.

Farm Business Strategies: Practical sessions on infrastructure planning, funding opportunities, leasing, and succession planning.

Food Systems in Action: From grassroots community initiatives to food hubs that deliver nutritious food across Kansas.

This is your chance to add your voice, share your power, and help shape a resilient food and farming system that is economically viable, ecologically sound, and socially just for generations to come.
