In this photo taken March 13, 2018, Midge Short holds some of the produce from an extensive garden that she and her husband, Bruce, maintain on Anton Larson Island during a presentation at the public library in Kodiak, Alaska. "It is about food security – growing as much of your own food as possible," said Short. Food security is a hot topic in Alaska, in Kodiak, even more so. According to a 2014 study commissioned by the Alaska Department of Health and Social Services, 95 percent of the food Alaskans purchase is imported, although that statistic is currently under review.
