The DNR hosted Agriculture Education Day in Nenana to teach the public more about their agricultural projects.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - As the State of Alaska works to improve food security, an issue that was realized during the Covid-19 pandemic, agricultural projects have become a priority.
The project began over a year ago with the first parcels of land being sold in 2022. Those first buyers had to submit plans for developing the land they purchased into some sort of farm that will aid in Alaska’s need to produce food in-state. A year later, the Department of Natural Resources invited the public to come learn more about the project.
Developing the agricultural area has involved the DNR and the Department of Transportation, but also the community of Nenana, tribal groups and other stakeholders. Together, these groups are working to develop what the DNR hopes will one day be a community of farmers. Many attended the event, from current farmers to prospective parcel purchasers, even politicians. “They’re getting a lot going, much sooner than I expected and I got to tour some of Nenana, some projects that are going on down here and that’s good, that’s exciting,” said Mike Prax, R-House District 33. Click Bishop, R-Senate District R, was also in attendance and spoke positively about the project as well.
