Hawai‘i Island Agriculture Partnership
The Hawai‘i Island Agriculture Partnership (HIAP) provides a voice and a platform for the agriculture sector on Hawai‘i Island.
Overview
The Hawai‘i Island Agriculture Partnership, or HIAP, was created to be a platform for collective action for local agricultural development. Many farms, government agencies and non-profits are working hard for Hawai‘i Island agriculture. HIAP strives to connect their efforts and help them to work together in ways that build collective impact.
As an organization, HIAP is structured to be formal enough to provide direction and advocacy, but is also created to allow space for smaller action teams to form around specific issues or opportunities. If you are interested in taking action to support Hawai‘i Island agriculture,
