Please join us for our upcoming virtual Building Healthy Communities from the Ground Up conference on August 6, 2021 from 8:45 am - 3:30 pm.
The conference will include panelists and speakers from across the region who are actively involved in efforts to strengthen their local communities through action and research in soil health, nutrition, mental health, and other pertinent areas. Farmers, food producers, grassroots organizers and community stakeholders in food systems and the health of Kansas’s rural and urban communities are encouraged to attend this event. This virtual conference will help promote new relationships in our foodshed and increase awareness of challenges facing communities and the work being done to uplift them, as well as a Farmer Forum track highlighting the research of farmers and ranchers in the region.

Scholarships are available to cover the cost of the conference for those who need financial assistance, and conference registrations are free for BIPOC attendees due to generous support from the Sunflower Foundation.
