Hands Turned to the Soil - The Wai`anae Food Security Conference

Friday and Saturday, May 20-21, 2005
Pre-Conference Session, May 19th (youth)

What: The food grown in Hawai`i is unsurpassed for freshness and flavor. Indigenous and local foods, exotic tropical fruits, fresh caught fish, and savory herbs are unique and delicious. Why have we become reliant on a diet of imported products high in saturated fats and salt? The conference will explore, develop and implement diverse and innovative actions which solve Hawaii's community food insecurities.

David Cole, CEO, Maui, Land and Pine
Puanani Burgess, Executive Director, `Opelu Project
Joan Namkoong, Co-Founder, KCC Farmer's Market
Jonathan Deenik, Soil Scientist, UH-CTAHR
Ed Kenney, Chef/Owner, Town Restaurant
Greg Gale, Anim Steele, & Wil Bullock, The Food Project, Boston
