What is OLAC?
The ONIE Project was awarded the Regional Food System Partnership Grant to establish the Oklahoma Local Agriculture Collaborative with Langston University and Healthy Oklahoma Nutrition Alliance (HONA) as sub-awardees.
The overarching goal of OLAC is to strengthen and grow the capacity of Oklahoma’s local agriculture in three areas: improving communication and access to underutilized resources; developing technical support systems to foster innovative practices; and creating a statewide registration and membership network for producers and direct-to-consumer markets. OLAC will specifically focus on rural markets and underserved communities to ensure that all Oklahomans have equal access.
Our mission is to unite partner agencies with agriculture entrepreneurs to ensure that the needs of local agribusinesses are recognized and represented.
