During these seminars, researchers will present ideas to inspire interdisciplinary collaboration and build relationships around Alaska&/ces/districts/deltajunction/39;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.
