HAWAII HOMEGROWN FOOD NETWORK

Ho'oulu ka 'Ulu is a project to revitalize 'ulu (breadfruit) as an attractive, delicious, nutritious, abundant, affordable, and culturally appropriate food which addresses Hawai'i's food security issues. It is well known that Hawai'i imports about 90% of its food, making it one of the most food insecure states in the nation. Additionally, since the economic downturn of 2008, many families lack access to affordable and nutritious food. We believe that breadfruit is a key to solving Hawaii's food security problems... Ho'oulu ka 'Ulu-Revitalizing Breadfruit was established in 2010 to revitalize breadfruit as an attractive, delicious, nutritious, abundant, affordable, and culturally appropriate food... Hawai'i Homegrown Food Network supports a new food paradigm based on a thriving community network of producers, sellers, educators, and consumers dedicated to a sustainable and diverse local food economy.
