USDA Grant to Help Alaskan Villages Grow Own Food

USDA has awarded a more than $400,000 grant to native villages in rural Alaska to help them grow their own food. The grant, given to the Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension, will help residents of remote communities grow food for themselves and 10 other families. The project focuses on areas where groceries are expensive and access to fresh vegetables is limited. (Associated Press) Read more.
