Transform empty space into community gardens
for food security
AVI is expanding its agriculture programs, both online and in person, through initiatives such as Ag in a Box and agBootcamp to strengthen food security in rural Alaska. These efforts seek to address food demand,
increase access to fresh foods, lower costs and transportation distances, support improved health outcomes, reduce imports, create employment opportunities, generate revenue, foster partnerships, and enhance Alaska’s resilience and
self-sufficiency.
