Alaska Homemade Food Regulations

In 2024, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation made significant changes to its cottage food industry rules, which are now called the homemade food exemption. Sarah Lewis, a University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service health, home and family development agent, will explain the changes in a workshop during the Alaska Food Policy Council meeting of the Alaska Food Systems Network.  For more information, visit https://www.akfoodpolicycouncil.org/.

Webinar: Using Kelp as Fertilizer

Erin Oliver, a postdoctoral researcher with Washington State University and a USDA Climate Hub Fellow for Alaska Agriculture stationed in Palmer, will discuss lab and field studies conducted at Matanuska Experiment Farm to investigate the effects of kelp on soil health and crop production in a free webinar. Kelp shows great promise for improving soil health and crop production in Alaska. Potential benefits include increased nutrient availability, improved soil pH, increased seed germination rates, and increased crop biomass. Using Alaska-grown kelp in agricultural soils provides both economic benefits for the mariculture industry and an alternative to commercial, inorganic fertilizers produced outside of Alaska. Studies have found that the benefits of kelp vary by soil type and amendment rates, but little research has been done in Alaska on this subject. The goal of this project is to determine the best method for applying kelp to Alaska soils. This talk will discuss both lab and field studies… Categories: Public events calendar - Fairbanks, Cooperative Extension calendar, Anchorage CES calendar, Bethel CES calendar, Bristol Bay/Dillingham CES calendar, Delta Junction CES calendar, Southeast CES calendar, Kenai/Soldotna CES calendar, Kodiak CES calendar, Mat-Su/Copper River CES calendar, Northwest/Nome CES calendar, Sitka CES calendar, Fairbanks/Tanana CES calendar.

Circumpolar Connections: A Dialogue on Arctic Food Systems

The UAF Institute of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Extension will host a series of hourlong lunch seminars. Presentations will focus on engaging people in a conversation about the issues their research surrounds, and will be relatively informal and friendly. Talks will be about 30 minutes long, with plenty of time for questions and conversations. Register using the online form or visit https://bit.ly/CircumpolarConnections. During these seminars, researchers will present ideas to inspire interdisciplinary collaboration and build relationships around Alaska's food systems. Researchers and students at University of Alaska, other circumpolar institutions, and land-grant university Experiment Stations are invited to listen to IANRE researchers present ideas that spark curiosity and inspire new pathways forward. While the seminars will focus on agriculture in the sub-Arctic and Arctic, the broader aim is to create a space for connection and dialogue, ultimately strengthening research across… Categories: Public events calendar - Fairbanks, Cooperative Extension calendar, Anchorage CES calendar, Bethel CES calendar, Bristol Bay/Dillingham CES calendar, Delta Junction CES calendar, Southeast CES calendar, Kenai/Soldotna CES calendar, Kodiak CES calendar, Mat-Su/Copper River CES calendar, Northwest/Nome CES calendar, Sitka CES calendar, Fairbanks/Tanana CES calendar.
