Movement of knowledge |
|
UAF researchers and Alaska Farmers learned from each other and now share their knowledge with a broader audience.
|
The interaction between permafrost and agriculture is a complex topic that has not received much attention in Alaska since the 1950s.
To tackle this topic, UAF researchers from different disciplines teamed up with farmers who grow vegetables, hay, peonies and livestock on their permafrost-affected land to form the Permafrost Grown team. This piece demonstrates the movement of knowledge around permafrost, represented here by ice wedges. |

The Permafrost Grown team meets regularly to
share research, observations and ideas. Some members are pictured here at a workshop in 2024. |
