One of the biggest movements in health and diet in recent years has been the concept of localism. Those looking for a local diet seek to fill as much of their daily diet as possible from nearby sources and local providers. This has an effect not only on your health but also on the environment and the economy. By buying locally, you’re supporting the diversity of your local businesses.

The Yukon Agricultural Association helps the territory’s farmers grow their businesses in a number of ways - and has done so for more than thirty years. The Association works as an advocate with the government, raises awareness of the trade outside of the Yukon itself, and helps the trade’s people themselves improve their process and profitability.

The Yukon, with its many mountains and glacier-carved valleys, provides unique opportunities for diversity in growing crops. Elements such as a farm’s distance to water, elevation, and any shade from nearby mountains can dramatically affect the land’s crop potential. These differences in microclimate mean that a variety of crops can be grown in a relatively small area.

The Yukon Agricultural Association website features a custom design, as well as a custom programmed web application to allow board members and association members to access private information through the site.
