OAK 2024 Conference Recordings
In early 2024, OAK held its annual conference at Kentucky State University's Harold R. Benson Research and Demonstration Farm in Frankfort, Kentucky. The sold-out conference brought together inspirational speakers and participants to join in learning and networking, with the theme Adopting Practices, Increasing Resilience, and Strengthening Systems.
OAK's 13th annual farming conference included a growing audience of hundreds of Kentuckians and neighbors active in community food systems: farmers, researchers, nonprofit professionals, federal and state agency partners, allied service providers and local food advocates working collectively to build a local, resilient and healthy food system.
Please enjoy these recorded sessions from the 13th Annual OAK Conference, Adopting Practices, Increasing Resilience, and Strengthening Systems, on January 25-27, 2024. Recordings will be released in batches on a monthly basis from May through September, 2024. Sign up for OAK Field Notes for notice of when the next batch of videos are available.
