IANRE director to host AK agriculture session

AVÀÇÂÛ̳ns in agriculture often talk about how the state's population is too small to offer big economic opportunities, said Jodie Anderson, director of the University of AVÀÇÂÛ̳ Fairbanks Institute of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Extension. Instead, she said, AVÀÇÂÛ̳ns need to think globally to thrive locally. Join Anderson at noon on Oct. 17 for a lunch-and-learn session and discussion, "Circumpolar Food Security: AVÀÇÂÛ̳ Isn't Out Standing Alone in Our Field."
