09-07-09: Guy Kaulukukui on Food Self-Reliance
In this podcast I interview Guy Kaulukukui, Director of the Kohala Center’s Food Self-Reliance Program.
Guy Kaulukukui speaking at the North Kohala Food Forum
Guy has been tasked with developing a “critical path” to food self-reliance for Hawaii Island- mapping a strategy for how the island will decrease food imports and the increase consumption of local food. Guy Kaulukukui, who has a Ph.D. in economics education is uniquely suited to this complex task of how to transition from a import economy to a locally-based economy. Guy feels that it is important to increase the demand side of the food equation by reinforcing the message of eating locally produced food as well as working on increasing efficiency on farms to decrease the costs of local produce to the public.
