Hawaii Indigenous Agriculture

[HereOnThePrimalEdge]

PBS Hawaii program examines local food production. One hour:

Hawaii grows only 10 to 13 percent of the food consumed in the Islands. The State is pushing to double local production by 2020. A new study suggests that Hawaii consider applying traditional Native Hawaiian agricultural practices and principles as a solution – especially with increased threats caused by climate change.

I can't get the PBS Hawaii link to work as it has an okina (backwards apostrophe) in the link. Here's the general PBS link for Insights:

Wouldn’t everyone have to become a farmer except for a handful of priests and chiefs in order to ‘apply traditional native Hawaiian agricultural practices’?

Wouldn’t everyone have to become a farmer

Or it could be a partial solution, even a few percent?

Make America Normal Again (or at least slightly more normal)

indigenous??? na

the people arent even indigenous.... 800 yrs of Polynesians on islands over 80 million yrs old is not indigenous... on top of that they (the descendants you see today) were NOT the first ones here....
but they do know their 28 canoe plants... period..
fyi, they know very little about the endemic plants here... most all Hawaiian endemic plant experts are hapa, asian or haole... thats why the few that are Polynesian do get some attention... same w/ the volcano scientists, mostly Euro haoles, and asians...

best video of a plant guy... a real RockStar... on Molokai's worlds tallest sea cliffs...
