AFFECT stands for the Alternative Fairbanks Farm Educational and Cooperative Training project. We want to develop an agricultural workforce training program with local farmers to increase the availability of trained workers for local farms. We’re looking for farmers to assist us with this project. We have funds to pay for farmers’ time to help us develop programming that will teach the necessary skills to be successful in Alaskan agriculture.

The AFFECT project is a collaborative, grant-funded project with Fairbanks Soil and Water Conservation District, UAF Cooperative Extension and 4H, the Fairbanks Community Food Bank, and a community-led Advisory Council. Contact us at AFFECTfarm@gmail.com.
