This year's conference keynote speaker is Austin Frerick, author of Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America's Food. This topic powerfully highlights the increasing dominance of big business in our food system and amplifies the need for KRC's efforts to keep our farmers on the land and ensure availability of healthy local food for all Kansans. Following Austin's presentation, we will have three tracks, each with a theme of Conservation, Diversification, or Innovation. This year's conference will conclude with a panel of young farmers sharing their unique visions for the future. |
