Welcome to On the Menu!

Each week of the Alaska Legislative Session we will keep you updated on the bills we are tracking and any policy decision that will affect our food systems with our On the Menu (OTM) blog. We are committed to keeping you informed and engaged in the policy decisions that will shape our food future. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to our Advocacy and Policy Director directly and we will do our best to answer you and provide as much context as you need!
