Winter + Spring Farm Conference Presentations

Author: Jann Knappage

Planning Unit: Family and Consumer Sciences

Major Program: Local Food System Development and Mapping

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

January through April 2024, the Food System Team presented at four conferences/meetings: the Organic Association of Kentucky, Community Farm Alliance's Farmers Market Gathering, Eastern Kentucky Farmer Conference, and the Kentucky Local Food Summit. Each presentation was focused on promoting the work the KY Nutrition Education Program does as a whole, with a focus on the local food system work that is promoting local food access. The Farmers Market Toolkit, Growing Your Own resources, and the KY Farm to School Hub were all discussed and resources for each were passed out to participants. These statewide/regional conferences/meetings had a combined reach of 300+ people. Participants were statewide stakeholders, SNAP participants, community partners and interested peoples. The Food System Team applied to present in these spaces to increase the awareness of KY NEP's work, as well as invite more partners in to expand and promote work going forward.
