Advocating for food systems change in Hawaiʻi
Hawaiʻi Food+ Policy is an internship program through Purple Maiʻa that gives Hawaiʻi college students and young farmers experience in civic engagement, a professional work environment, and problem solving through the lens of food systems advocacy.
We are tracking food & agriculture legislative measures. We encourage you to join our efforts to support a more sustainable & resilient food system!

Incentivize and support regenerative and Native Hawaiian traditional farming and fishing practices.
-
Create access to healthy, culturally appropriate foods for food insecure communities and demographics.
-
Provide farm to school programming--production, education & local
procurement--for all learners.
