We had a great time at the Good Food Forum in Prescott last week! Our team had the opportunity to connect with people and organizations from across Arizona who are working to strengthen our local and regional food systems.

The Forum offered a space to share ideas, learn from one another, and explore the partnerships and strategies helping build a stronger, more connected food system. We also had the opportunity to tour The Eatery, learning more about their work and approach to supporting local food in the Prescott community.

Grateful for the conversations, new connections, and all the people doing this work across Arizona. We’re excited to bring what we learned back to Northern Arizona and keep building on these partnerships!

We've been keeping a secret... And since we're revealing it so late, we've extended registration to THIS Sunday, 8/30.

We’re thrilled to announce our second guest speakers for the 2026 Northern Arizona Anti-Hunger Summit: Dr. Jessica Knurick and Dr. Jessie Gruner!

Dr. Jessica Knurick is a registered dietitian and a science communicator with a PhD in nutrition science, specializing in chronic disease prevention. She educates on nutrition science, food and nutrition policy, and how these forces shape public health.

Known for her clear, evidence-based communication, Dr. Jessica helps people navigate nutrition information with a critical eye, breaking down complex topics and addressing common misconceptions. As a science communicator, she is passionate about making science accessible, practical, and grounded in real-world impact.

Dr. Jessie Gruner is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with over a decade of experience working in public health sectors including social services, research, and advocacy. Originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, she is a policy enthusiast and is passionate about ensuring public policy is rooted in community voices and needs.

Together, Dr. Knurick and Dr. Gruner will take attendees from the national policy landscape to what it means here at home—providing an overview of federal and Arizona food policy, the forces shaping food access and public health, and the opportunities ahead. Their conversation will help us understand where we are now so we can better envision where we go from here, together.

Join us on Thursday, September 3, 2026, in Flagstaff, Arizona, as we bring together community members, nonprofit leaders, Tribal partners, healthcare professionals, government officials, educators, and advocates to strengthen food access across Northern Arizona.

How do we keep moving anti-hunger and food systems work forward amid opposition, shifting policy landscapes, and growing community need?

Join Elizabeth Goodman, Senior Attorney and Chair of the Government Affairs Department at Rose Law Group, and Rachel Lord, Mayor of Homer, AK, and Advocacy & Policy Director at the Alaska Food Policy Council, for a practical conversation that explores strategies for navigating opposition, responding to emerging food access challenges, building durable coalitions, and identifying opportunities for policy change even when the path forward is uncertain.

The breakout sessions at the 2026 Northern Arizona Anti-Hunger Summit were built with this work — and the people doing it — in mind.

Whether you’re ready to organize, looking for new strategies, or trying to stay involved without burning out, there will be space for you.

We’re excited to announce our next breakout session: Book Clubs, Groups & Resources: How to Learn More and Stay Involved Without Burying Yourself, featuring local community leader Sara Sprague and Civil Eats Membership Manager Kalisha Bass.

This session will explore practical, sustainable ways to stay connected to anti-hunger work while protecting your capacity. From community gardens and book clubs to small acts of action and direct service, Sara and Kalisha will share grounded examples of how people can keep learning, contributing, and building momentum without taking on more than they can carry.
