Trends in Atlantic Salmon Markets and Implications for Bristol Bay Salmon Markets
Gunnar Knapp
World salmon markets are dominated by farmed Atlantic salmon. As farmed salmon production has grown, Bristol Bay sockeye salmon has become an ever-smaller share of world salmon supply. Norway and Chile are by far the largest producers of farmed salmon, followed by the UK and Canada. Historically, year-over-year changes in US monthly imports have been inversely correlated with year-over-year changes in prices. What explains changes over time in the price premium or discount of sockeye relative to competing farmed salmon? Looking at the relationship between price and supply changes, we conclude that the market is able to absorb 6-7% more fish at stable prices. As a consequence, we expect a 5% increase in price is 2019 despite 4% supply growth.

Can my GPS lead me to a sustainable future? The role of technology and lessons from three remote Arctic communities
Chris Monz, Jennifer I. Schmidt, and Vera Hausner
This presentation outlines research involving 35 residents of Brevig Mission, Noatak, and Noorvik during March 2017 were asked to evaluate values and beliefs regarding technology, climate change, and subsistence. Interviewees indicated that technology was helpful in their hunting and subsistence activities, but it was also expensive and may contribute to taking larger risks. Furthermore, technology was not seen as making up entirely for the impacts arising from changing climate.

Planting the Seeds to Examine Food Security Challenges in the Alaska Food-Energy-Water Nexus
Jennifer I. Schmidt
What is the Food-Energy-Water Nexus? It is the relationship between the energy that is used to clean and treat water and to grow food. It is also the recognition that it takes water to grow food and produce electrical power, and that it takes food to power us all to keep these systems running. This set of relationships can be considered at different scales including the "micro" that is most characteristic of small island communities in Alaska. This presentation was delivered at the Alaska Food Policy Council 2019 Festival and Conference.

Socio-economic effects of changing vegetation in Arctic Alaska
Jennifer Schmidt
Vegetation change is complex and as a result the socioeconomic impacts vary. Shrubification has consequences for energy production, transportation but more information is needed. Erosion is a major issue for many communities and how vegetation influences erosion is unclear, and communities not experiencing changes in vegetation around them can still be affected.
