Regenerative Food Systems

Mahalo for growing our food future! Youth leaders are working to strengthen local farming, food security, and ʻāina-based education. As we head into session, we’re building on these priorities to expand programs that connect students, farmers, and communities across Hawaiʻi.

2025 Key Policy Priorities:

Integrate farming, gardening, and sustainability into K–12 and afterschool programs to connect students with the ʻāina.
Expand paid farming apprenticeships for youth to grow Hawaiʻi’s next generation of farmers.
Support local farmers through DOE partnerships and fair-wage initiatives that strengthen farm-to-school programs.
Reduce dependence on imported food and food waste by investing in local supply chains.
Shift public attitudes to value local agriculture and de-stigmatize farm work as essential to community resilience.

These priorities help support local food systems, protect the environment, and make sure everyone has access to healthy meals. Want to make a difference? Speak up and support these policies! 🎤🙌
