GREAT NEWS IN A NUTSHELL! YES! Magazine features a stunning article showing how mentors in Hawaii, especially here on the Big Island are working toward food self-sufficiency for our island communities. “Hawai‘i is “showing the rest of the country how circular and regenerative and local food systems can support the economy, strengthen cultural heritage, and improve the overall health of the community,” according to the Center for Food Safety, a nonprofit advocacy group. Their docuseries, Regenerating Paradise, showcases local farm-to-school programs, community poi harvesting, farm entrepreneurship training programs, and soil health and composting initiatives.”
