The Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority is partnering with the Hawai‘i Food Hub Hui to host an informational webinar called “Saving Time & Sourcing Local: Buying Local with Food Hubs.”
Fresh research reinforces that the majority of tourists to Hawaii will pay a premium to experience local fare. That could make food produced here more affordable for residents.
State lawmakers are looking at new subsidies to improve food sustainability and security in the islands while continuing the momentum from last session.
Considering all the hurdles within the food supply chain in Hawaii, some agricultural advocates say concepts like food hubs can help boost production and profit.
