Hawai\u02bbi Farm to School Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Under Superintendent Keith Hayashi’s leadership, the Department is refocusing its efforts, strengthening partnerships, and taking action to reach the statewide goal of 30% locally sourced food by 2030. The Hawai\u02bbi Farm to School Plan<\/a> (PDF) outlines these efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goal 1: 30% of food served in public school meals will be locally sourced.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Locally sourced food means products that are grown, raised and harvested in Hawai\u2018i, including both fresh and value-added items. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goal 2: All students will participate in agriculture or nutrition education.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This includes hands-on, standards-aligned instruction in science, health, Career & Technical Education, and Hawaiian Studies. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goal 3: Every public school in Hawai\u02bbi will have a garden.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gardens support social-emotional learning, reinforce core subjects, and offer a powerful connection to land, food and culture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
