Description
The renewed support for the "Farming for the Working Class" will further increase agriculture production in the homestead by training an additional 24 participants and creating another 12 new farms within the Waimea Hawaiian Homestead. Creating an additional 12 farms to build on the progress made with the 12 already trained, allowing the community to leverage their combined production to reach the economies of scale needed to access some of the larger local markets and begin to have a larger impact on food security in Hawaii.
