Other customers include University scientist and marine outreach programs, and government agencies (USDA, NMFS, EPA, Alaska Department of Fish and Game and Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation).

GERMPLASM

Primary users will be national and international plant scientists and centers and breeding programs for crops adapted to the circumpolar region. Farmers, production specialists, nurseries, commercial seed companies, and agricultural industries are occasional clients. The immediate users are scientists involved in plant breeding and improvement programs. The Circumpolar Agricultural Association (CAA) is a group of scientists, interested farmers, and research institutions from the circumpolar regions of the world. The CAA encourages and benefits from the exchange of information, material and technology of agriculture and rural development in circumpolar areas.

IPM

Growers, the food industry, potato and barley producers, and scientists. State and Federal agencies (Forest Service, APHIS, NRCS, National Parks Service, BLM, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, University of Alaska). National and international plant scientists and centers.
