Haven’t we tried to build a viable food system before, like with the Mat-Su Farming Colony, and it’s failed?
There was a time when agriculture thrived here like it thrived in the Lower 48, however farming changed everywhere with the rise of the global economy and increasing pressure on farmers to sell land or start growing just one major crop. The particular effort in the Mat-Su Valley might have been a failure for several reasons, but we have successful farming efforts now, which can become more successful in time and with our support. In fact, farmers’ successes are critical to ensuring Alaskans’ security and the long term viability of our economy, so it’s important that we continue to promote Alaskan agriculture’s success.
