Establishes the Hawaii farm to families program to support local farmers and food banks.
The Hawaii farm to families program aims to support local farmers and food banks by providing funds to facilitate consistent supply chains of fresh, Hawaii-grown food to food-insecure communities. The program will be administered by the department, which will provide funds to food banks to purchase, store, and transport fresh, Hawaii-grown food to recipients at no cost. The program seeks to reduce the state's dependence on imports, boost the local economy, and ensure more families have access to locally grown produce.
