About Us
OUR FOOD, OUR PEOPLE, OUR FUTURE
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. The role of the AFPC is to:
CONNECT: Engage with Alaskans to get input to strengthen our food system, and to connect them with each other to learn and collaborate.
ADVOCATE: Develop recommendations and share them with policymakers at the local, state, federal, and tribal levels.
INFORM: Share information, resources, opportunities, and risks with all food stakeholders (everyone who eats!)
How Pick.Click.Give. makes a difference
Your contribution will help build a more robust and secure Alaska food system! Upcoming needs include but aren't limited to:
- Continue community-focused programs like our recent mini-grants initiative, that granted funds to startup food projects.
- Developing recommendations and sharing them with policymakers at the local, state, federal and tribal levels; and to share information, resources, opportunities, and risks with all food stakeholders (anyone who eats!).
- Hosting the 5th biannual Alaska Food Festival and Educational Conference to bring together individuals, organizations, and agencies to connect and to educate each other, and act as a "food system think tank" regarding the work that is being done in Alaska.
