Research gardens, fire ant eradication, food production and more have lost federal funding over the last few weeks.
The Amy B.H. Greenwell Ethnobotanical Garden’s $2 million grant from the USDA Forestry Service’s Urban and Community Forestry Program is among the funding casualties.
There are almost 7,500 nonprofits in the state, employing approximately 56,000 people, according to the Independent Sector, a national collective of nonprofits.
Federal money represents a significant funding line for Hawaiʻi’s $700 million agricultural industry, which lawmakers continue to promote as important for the islands’ self-sufficiency and sustainability.
