US: Alaskans to grow local produce in greenhouse

While the Pribilof Island community of St. Paul is well known for seafood, a new project aims to broaden local food production to include tomatoes and cucumbers and other veggies. Equipped with a federal grant, the tribal government plans to grow food locally in a greenhouse, according to tribal government official Pamela Lestenkof.

The Aleut Community of St. Paul Island Tribal Government received a total of $437,524 in federal grant funding from the Administration for Native Americans under its Social and Economic Development Strategies program for the next three years. With these funds, the Tribal Government intends to create, develop, and implement a local agricultural enterprise incorporating sustainable farming practices to grow produce year round on St. Paul Island, Alaska.
