Alaska Food and Farm Festival

November 10, 2023 - November 12, 2023

THE ALASKA FOOD POLICY COUNCIL, ALASKA FARM BUREAU, AND WESTERN SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE RESEARCH & EDUCATION ARE PARTNERING FOR THE 7TH SESQUIANNUAL ALASKA FOOD FESTIVAL & CONFERENCE, IN COMBINATION WITH THE ALASKA FARM CONVENTION & TRADESHOW.
Alaska Farm Bureau supports, educates, and advocates for Alaska Agriculture, helping build and grow farmers and ranchers across Alaska. Alaska Farm Bureau is the largest agriculture-related organization in the State of Alaska. We are here to support Alaska growers regardless of the product grown or method of production. Alaska agriculture affects us all.
Alaska Food Policy Council’s goal is to create a healthier, more secure, and more self-reliant Alaska by improving our food system. The AFPC is open to anyone interested in improving Alaska’s food systems – agencies and individuals representing federal and state agencies, tribal entities, schools, university programs, farmers, fisheries, and food systems businesses.
Western Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) mission is to advance innovations that improve profitability, stewardship, and quality of life in American agriculture by investing in groundbreaking research and education. To achieve that, Western SARE believes that our programs must include the involvement of agricultural producers from inception to finish, and therefore we require producer involvement in the planning, design, implementation, and educational outreach of any funded project.
AFPC’S GOALS FOR THE CONFERENCE
AND FESTIVAL ARE TO:
(1) increase awareness of Alaska food issues among the general population;
(2) provide training, resources, and networking opportunities to increase involvement in local food issues by community members and decision-makers; and
3) increase connections and build community between the public, Alaska food businesses, NGOs, governmental entities, Tribal entities, and others to support local economic development and innovative solutions.
