As a celebration of Arizona’s local food system, we look forward to the rich perspective provided by Tucson’s hosting of the event. This year's event is themed "Building Arizona's Resilient Food Future," and it's a convergence of minds and expertise dedicated to strengthening Arizona's local food system.

Last year's event was a resounding success, with 300 attendees enthusiastically committing to return, affirming the vibrancy of our community. This year, we're bringing that same energy to Tucson, with engaging keynote speakers, forum discussions, and educational sessions addressing critical issues such as accessing resources, climate-smart agriculture, and building resilience at every level of Arizona’s food system.

What's more, we're proud to announce a dedicated forum track focused on Indigenous knowledge, highlighting the invaluable wisdom and practices of Indigenous communities in shaping sustainable food futures.

The Expo will showcase the latest local food products, facilitating connections between local chefs, retailers, and emerging food entrepreneurs. This is an excellent opportunity to explore Arizona's culinary delights and connect with the driving forces behind our local food economy.

Presented by Local First Arizona, the Good Food Forum + Expo offers a unique opportunity to engage with a diverse array of stakeholders, including food advocates, policymakers, farmers, ranchers, entrepreneurs, and purveyors. Immerse yourself in Arizona's culinary delights, explore local sourcing options, and cultivate relationships with like-minded individuals who are passionate about building a resilient and thriving future for Arizona's food landscape.
