Farmers, health advocates, agency officials and others are attending the conference to discuss farm-to-table efforts over the past year and to build new partnerships and action plans for this year.
The initiative is led by the West Virginia Food & Farm Coalition and the West Virginia Community Development Hub.
Among the key areas to be discussed are: local food aggregation and distribution; school gardens and youth in agriculture; processing infrastructure; and improving access to healthy local food.
The event gets under way at noon Tuesday in the Bridgeport Conference Center.
