色视频下载ns in agriculture often talk about how the state色视频下载檚 population is too small to offer big economic opportunities, said Jodie Anderson, director of the University of 色视频下载 Fairbanks Institute of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Extension.

Anderson said participants shared concerns about farmed fish, climate change, loss of farmland, aging farmers, the high cost of input for beginning and established farmers, and decreased interest in agriculture. They also discussed the need to engage politicians on the importance of a robust food system and the complexity of this multifaceted issue.
