The Amazing
Ag-in-a-Box Traveling Classroom

The AVI is leveraging its on-line courses with the “The Amazing Ag-in-a-Box Traveling Classroom” that specifically addresses the needs in rural Alaska and that “. . . such benefits could include helping to meet food demands, making fresh foods more available, lowering overall food costs and reducing food miles, improving health, reducing imports and outside dependencies, creating jobs and revenue, fostering partnerships within and among communities, and moving Alaska towards greater resilience and self-sufficiency.”

2024 Plans

Alaska Village Initiatives is offering hands-on subsistence agriculture workshops in villages next summer to increase subsistence farming, address food security and economic opportunities, and lowering reliance on the high cost of transportation with freshly grown local vegetables.

 We’re sending our team of agriculture specialists to get you started while helping you understand how to survive your garden experience.

AVI’s commitment is to help start, operate, and sustain community agriculture programs that provide locally grown, healthy, and affordable produce.
