Hawai'i Island Homegrown: Food Self-Reliance Workshop (In Pahoa)
With more than 85% of our food imported from off-island, many Hawai'i Island residents are concerned about our community's food security. This workshop will empower you to be in control of your own food security, reduce your food budget, increase consumption of fresher, more nutritious food, decrease the impact of spiraling fuel costs and help ceate an abundance of food for sharing or sale. this workshop is for gardeners, farmers, homeowners, landscapers, teachers, extension professionals - anyone interested in growing Hawai'i community food self-reliance.
