Only 5 percent of the agricultural products Alaska consumes are actually grown in the state. Alaska-grown products like carrots are sweeter and more desired than the imported counterparts, but most carrots consumed are imported from California.

Growing more food in the state could ensure food is always on the shelves, especially during a natural disaster like an earthquake or a global pandemic like COVID-19.

The “Alaska Grown” documentary was funded by AgriLogic Consulting and the USDA Risk Management Agency.
