In this Oct. 2, 2013 photo provided by Michigan State University, Matt Raven, professor of community sustainability, leans on a hoophouse frame in East Lansing, Mich. Raven will establish a so-called incubator farm in Michigan's Upper Peninsula as part of an effort to improve food options in the region. Michigan State says parts of the Upper Peninsula lack convenient access to fresh, healthy and affordable food. The area faces high costs of importing supplies and food, lower-quality soils in places and a cool northern climate with a short growing season. The farm will be based at its Upper Peninsula Research and Extension Center in Chatham, a more than 1,200-acre research site.(AP Photo/Michigan State University, Kurt Stepnitz)
