Revitalizing Breadfruit

Revitalizing Breadfruit

"The Ho'oulu ka 'Ulu Project.“

Ho'oulu ka 'Ulu is a project to revitalize 'ulu (breadfruit) as an attractive, delicious, nutritious, abundant, affordable, and culturally appropriate food which addresses Hawai'i's food security issues. It is well known that Hawai'i imports about 90% of its food, making it one of the most food insecure states in the nation. Additionally, since the economic downturn of 2008, many families lack access to affordable and nutritious food. We believe that breadfruit is a key to solving Hawaii's food security problems.

Little Fire Ant in Kona

The LITTLE FIRE ANT (Wasmannia auropunctata) has been found on a (mauka) Captain Cook Coffee Farm. Please join entomologist, Rob Curtiss, ant specialist, Cas Vanderwoude, and other farmers on Oct. 30, 2012 at the Kona Cooperative Extension Service Conference Room from 3-5 PM.

There will be an over view on Little Fire Ant and then questions will be taken following the presentation. Seating is limited (75), so please be prompt. If you are unable to make the Coffee Talk (hosted by KCFA, CTAHR and HDOA), please come down to the Makapueo Pavilion on Nov. 10. Rob and I will be there with some LFA information. In working with Cas, Rob and HDOA, future LFA workshops will be held. Dates and times will be announced.
