Addressing Food Scarcity for a Sustainable Future

Editorial Series by Sara Yamtich: Part 3 of 3 – Food sovereignty issues by looking at colonial past 🌱✊

To understand our present challenges and prepare for the future, we must delve into the roots of food scarcity on Maui. Historical land dispossession and economic marginalization have contributed to the struggles we face today. As we work towards a future of food security, it’s essential to build on the strengths of our community and honor the land’s capacity to sustain us.

Our mission is not just to provide immediate relief but to foster long-term resilience and self-sufficiency. This involves…

Supporting Local Agriculture: By partnering with local farmers, we help ensure a steady supply of fresh, nutritious food while supporting the local economy.

Community Education: We offer programs that teach sustainable farming practices, traditional food preparation, and the importance of food sovereignty.

Building Strong Networks: We collaborate with other organizations to create a robust network of support, ensuring that resources are efficiently distributed and that no one in our community goes hungry.

Together, we can create a future where everyone has access to healthy food, where the land is respected and nurtured, and where the community thrives. Join us in this journey towards food sovereignty and sustainability.

🌺 Your support and involvement are crucial in making this vision a reality. Whether through volunteering, donating, or spreading the word, you can help create a more equitable and resilient Maui.
