SUSTAINABLE INITIATIVES

We believe that food brings people together...whether it's in the field, at a community event or the kitchen table... Sustainable Initiatives develops community-based projects, acts as a consultant for business and nonprofit clients, and partners with other organizations on their passion projects. Under Andrea Dean's leadership, Sustainable Initiatives has developed numerous projects from the ground up-starting with the seed of an idea, to funding, team building and managing the project... Select past projects in which Sustainable Initiatives has played integral role in are: Ho'oulu ka ‘Ulu-a project to revitalize breadfruit for food security in Hawaii; Feasibility Study and Business Plan for a Shared Use Food Manufacturing Facility for Kamehameha Schools; Palili O Kohala-an agricultural incubator and cooperative based on traditional crops; Think Local, Buy Local-a public education initiative to support the local economy; North Kohala Eat Locally Grown -public education, community..
