Can We Double Local Food Production by 2020?
Season 2017 Episode 31 | 56m 44sVideo has Closed Captions
Governor David Ige has set a goal that we double local food production by 2020.
Hawai‘i continues to be heavily reliant on imports to feed its 1.4 million residents and 8 million visitors. About $3 billion a year is spent to ship in approximately 90 percent of our food, with 6 million pounds of food arriving daily by cargo ships and planes. If these ships and planes stopped arriving, Hawai‘i’s food supply would last only 3-10 days. What will it take to reach this goal?
