Hawaiʻi faces a challenging agricultural dilemma: while the state is eager to boost local food production and the population is on board- the barriers to farming seem higher than ever. One of the biggest barriers to farming is access to land. Young farmers across the islands struggle not only to find land to farm, but also face huge price tags for lease and purchase. That doesn’t even account for the difficulties of making a living as a farmer. Meanwhile, Hawaiʻiʻs average farmer is getting older and approaching retirement. We hope to dispel the myths, explain the facts and explore solutions to this emerging and increasingly problematic barrier to increasing local food production. Our panelists include Laura Ediger of GoFarm Hawai ʻ i, Haley Mckinnon of Ahiki Acres, Paul Reppun of Waianu Farm and Nick Reppun of Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi . The event will be moderated by Civil Beat reporter Thomas Heaton. Submit your question to the panel here. Complimentary light snacks will be provided. This event will be held at the Civil Beat headquarters in Kaimukī, located on the second floor above Goodwill Hawaiʻi. Parking is located within the building at 3650 Waiʻalae Avenue, entrance on Wilhelmina Rise. Parking validation for up to 2 hours will be provided for all attendees.
