By growing food locally, we can reduce carbon emissions, cost of food, and waste involved with shipping produce from the mainland, while increase food security for the people of Hawaii.
Since fossil fuels are imported from around the world, Hawaii has the highest fuel costs on the planet. That's why the State has set a goal to reach carbon neutrality by 2045. Sustainable agriculture will help Hawaii generate 100% of its electricity from renewable resources.
Hawaii's housing crisis stems from high buying and rent prices many local Hawaiians cannot afford. The State declares Hawaii’s homelessness rate to be an “epidemic” and is a top priority on the State’s agenda.
In a post COVID-19 economy, Hawaii residents must take action to make our islands more sustainable. Agriculture technologies is an opportunity to reimagine Hawaii's agriculture industry and reduce our reliance on imported food to keep money in the local economy.
Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians) developed the ahupua'a system. The ahupua'a system determine how the Kanaka Maoli could use their lands and water to manage their resources and provide for the community. This self-sustaining system will allow Hawaii will become less dependent on imports and teach Hawaiians today how to respect and care for the environment.
Through tiny house villages to coliving, housing becomes more accessible to these groups while creating a sense of community. With green planning and environmental stewardship, these communities will be sustainable and viable.
We are partnering with the most advanced clean energy producers with a diversified approach to harness solar energy, battery storage, and cogeneration to offer our indoor farmers clean energy to power their growing operations. With a systemic approach to energy production, we aim to develop closed-loop systems that produce carbon-negative results.
We are partnering with state-of-the-art AgTech companies to develop cutting edge indoor facilities that use sophisticated monitoring and automation systems to significantly increase productivity, efficiency, and consistency. These technologies will offer the added benefit of producing food that is traceable, organic, and use 95% less water compared to conventional farming, while producing 300x more productivity per/ sqft. in half of the time.
We are helping to create a new career path for Hawaii's workforce. We are developing new economic drivers in AgTech and Clean Energy to achieve local food security. This initiative aims to increase new technology careers, keep local money in Hawaii, and put our islands on the map as a leader in Agriculture Technology and Clean Energy.
