The University of Hawaii (UH) was awarded a $475,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Alaska Native-Serving Institutions and Native Hawaiian-Serving Institutions Education Grants program (CFDA 10.228). The grant, with a performance period from September 15, 2023 to September 14, 2027, will support UH's GoFarm Hawaii (GFH) program to prepare students for careers in food, agriculture, and natural resources. Key activities include expanding beginning farmer training opportunities on Maui, providing mentoring and apprenticeship, integrating content on canoe crops and marketing, developing additional resources, enhancing business technical assistance, and piloting youth outreach and educator support on Kauai. These efforts aim to revitalize Hawaii's agricultural economy by developing a skilled local workforce through practical, experiential agricultural education and training.
