With more than 85% of our food imported from off-island, many Hawaii Island residents are concerned about our community's food security. This workshop will empower participants to be in control of their own food sources; reduce food budgets; increase consumption of fresher, more nutritious food; decrease the impact of spiraling fuel costs; and help create an abundance of food for sharing or sale. Gardeners, farmers, homeowners, landscapers, teachers, extension professionals and anyone interested in expanding Hawaii community food self-reliance are welcome to attend.
Due to space constraints on field tours, participant numbers are limited. Fee: $50. Please register early. For more information and registration details, please visit agroforestry.net/events, or contact Craig Elevitch at craig@agroforestry.net.
Co-sponsored by the Hawaii County Resource Center and the Hawaii County Department of Research and Development, the workshops are presented by Permanent Agriculture Resources of Holualoa.
