Aloha friend of the aina!

 This is a special invitation to an upcoming important Creating Sustainable Food Systems Oahu Conference on July 31. This conference is bringing together national and local experts in creating community food systems who will serve to lay the essential groundwork leading toward implementing broad-minded island wide food projects, i.e., community gardens, greenroofs, innovative micro enterprises such as greencarts, farm to institution, and other key initiatives to be discussed.  We hope this hui, will serve as a catalyst to help bring Oahu to the forefront in achieving island food security, as it most certainly should and could be.

 

The conference will be interactive with all the attendees and provide for breakout sessions where everyone can participate by contributing their creative and most useful input on the subject of hunger and food security. The outcome of the conference is two-fold; to set up a Working Task Force whose responsibility will be to implement the most productive food project initiatives that emerge from the interactive discussions, and secondly, to form a Food Policy Council, whose role will be to help establish policies that support these initiatives.  http://leafhawaii.org/?page_id=46

It is a day long commitment of time, so we applaud you if you are able to come, and we promise an eventful inspiring experience for your effort. Seating is limited so we encourage you to sign up now at    http://leafhawaii.org/?page_id=47
