Our friend Marc Cambra from the Eklutna Tribal Conservation District was recently interviewed on Eklutna’s community garden and its work with Alaska Resilience Farms. This project is a food security partnership connecting urban and rural communities, and builds upon a current partnership that Alaska Conservation Foundation has with a network of Tribal Conservation Districts focused on Indigenous-led stewardship of traditional foods. It further leverages local food production efforts by Alaska Seeds of Change for underserved urban farmers in Anchorage and the efforts of the Eklutna Tribal Conservation District to build capacities around the Anchorage bowl relative to local agricultural production. It also includes the online tools of Alaska Village Initiatives and their rural collaboration expertise.
