I am very excited to the be the head chef for the upcoming Maui Agricultural Design Conference at Hale Akua Farm. I will be blogging from there and sending pics and recipes!!
A core group of whole system thinkers will join together at the Hale Akua Garden Farm at the Sunrise Center in Huelo for five days from July 28 thru August 1st to create whole-system sustainable agricultural models that are 1) economically sound, 2) replicatable, 3) and demonstrate and track documentable results.
Participating will be those that value sustainable systems of agriculture. This core group will be designing this holistic system. Our focus is the support of Maui Counties agricultural producers and to recognize the network of networks that makes sustainable local agriculture possible. /span>By developing closed loop systems that utilize our locally available natural resources for the recycling of nutrients and other proven ecological practices, this design will drive policy along with business opportunities.
There are several way to become involved and registration is Must. One is The Virtual Conference. This is where you can contribute on-line through sharing ideas, challenges, and successes in the production and distribution of food & fiber. Go to the Maui Food Web.
