The goals of the Alaska Food Festival & Conference are to:

-Provide training, resources, and networking opportunities that strengthen community leadership and participation;
-Build meaningful connections among community members, Tribal organizations, producers, businesses, nonprofits, educators, researchers, and government partners; and
-Support local economic development, food sovereignty, and innovative, community-led solutions.
