2023 Food+ Policy Priorities:

  1. Increase opportunities and remove barriers for young people to engage in
    small farming for local consumption – as a lifestyle or a career.

  2. Incentivize and support regenerative and Native Hawaiian traditional farming and fishing practices.

  3. Create access to healthy, culturally appropriate foods for food insecure communities and demographics.

  4. Provide farm to school programming--production, education & local
    procurement--for all learners.
