Jennifer Nu is the Regional Food Systems Catalyst with the Sustainable Southeast Partnership, currently hosted by Ecotrust. On Tlingit Aani, Jennifer supports projects and initiatives that engage Southeast Alaskans in strengthening place-based, healthy local food systems in their own communities. She sees food as a key element that connects us to the land, to the ancestors, and to each other. When not foraging, preserving, or cooking, Jennifer can be found enjoying long-distance trekking, paddling, photography, and writing stories about people and community wellness.
