Kentucky farming conference Oct. 12 to focus on creating a healthy, sustainable future

The 14th annual Healthy Foods, Local Farms Conference, scheduled from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 12 in Louisville, will focus on food, sustainability, and justice. The conference program says, "Barton Seaver, chef, author, advocate for sustainable oceans and public health, challenges us to see where the true problem lies — with our action or inaction to make changes within the system and within our selves to ensure a food system for all; not just the well-to-do, not just big farmers and corporations, but one that works with nature, looking toward a healthy, sustainable, and just future."

Cost of the conference is $35. Registration includes meals, snacks and conference materials. For more information contact Aloma Dew at 270-316-0334, or by email at alomadew@hotmail.com to inquire about scholarships. To register, click here.
