Maui Tomorrow

Sustainable Agriculture

With uncertain times facing the planet, and so much of our food and fuel coming from sources thousands of miles away that could face interruptions, it makes sense to produce as much of our food and fuel as we can locally. Maui Tomorrow funded the Mālama ʻĀina Report with the goal of generating interest in producing food and fuel with permaculture, and best practices to remove toxic chemicals from the soil and improve soil health. This study discusses well-known techniques that use locally produced fertilizer and chemical-free pest control methods to produce healthy food crops in a more profitable manner than has been the case in the past. With your support, we can continue the educational process, and research and promote other ways of moving toward a more sustainable future with healthy local food and energy crops.
