Welcome
Our Vision: Empowered communities driving a healthy sustainable food system.
The goal of establishing the Hawaii Food Policy Council is to bring together diverse stakeholders across the food system, from farmers to consumers, to create a sustainable, systematic, effective, and inclusive food system for Hawaii. A key strategy is to work with other individuals, organizations and agencies who are also part of the food system.
As the newly formed Governing Board works to lay the ground work for a dynamic and nimble council we invite you to sign up for the HFPC Google Groups Listserv here. The Google Groups Listserv is for sharing general food system information and to serve as a place for dialogue about hot topics of interest to the group. Please review the listserv guidelines here.
You may add your email address at the bottom of this page and we will send you quarterly newsletters and occasion updates on activates that are timely and important.
You can also find us on FaceBook here. And Twitter here. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate and get involved in this shared community effort. Let your voice be heard!
