As we enter the holiday season, we want to reflect on the importance of agriculture in communities across the State. In this issue, we highlight youth programs that ensure that agriculture remains an integral part of our sustainable future. Also featured are value added programs that involve UH students who work to take unwanted produce and turn it into profits. We then take you on a trip to Molokai to visit a family on Hawaiian homestead land that integrates agriculture into their lifestyle to provide food and income. Other articles we have included provide information on how producers can get financial and technical assistance to implement conservation practices, along with articles that address other methods for producers to be more sustainable.
