Meet 17 year old Liam Wade. A senior in North Pole High School in Interior Alaska. He is self proclaimed Agriculturist, in fact he believes we are all Agriculturists in one form or another. His passion for Agriculture, Food Security and being a change leader in the agriculture revolution in Alaska is infectious and very inspiring.
He is bright, articulate, opinionated, has a great sense of humor, gives presentations all over the state and country about Agriculture in Alaska, he is also very knowledgeable about hydroponics, he grows Kale, Swiss Chard, Lettuce and all kinds of herbs in his school Hydroponic lab.
He is on the school’s cross-country ski and running teams, sits on Kids Voting board, represents the Fairbanks students on the Association of Student Government, active in Future Farmers of America, and he is a student representative on Fairbanks North Star Borough School Board. Somehow he finds time to even play video games.
He strongly believes that Agricultural farming in Alaska is the future of farming in America. Such passion can only mean good things for Agriculture in Alaska.
Take a listen! You too will become a believer and be inspired.
