This past Fall, Severine travelled to beautiful Alaska and wrote three comprehensive articles based on her experience for In These Times. From Halibut festivals to fish processing boats to the rugged Alaskan homesteaders, she explores three questions fundamental to her journey:

• What can the farming community learn from the highly managed, and highly abundant commons of Alaska? Are these lessons applicable to land?
• What do young agrarians have to learn from the governance and politics of a wild fishery?
• What does a wild fishery have to learn from the cultural activities of agrarian organizers?

Convinced? You can read the three articles, Part I, Part II, and Part III on In These Times.
But maybe you're still not sure why young farmers should care about the ocean? We'll be posting a few short excerpts on the blog throughout day, and we suspect they might just change your mind.
