Agriculture & Food

Agriculture in Hawaii faces mounting pressure from urbanization, invasive species, and the high cost of land and water. The Department of Agriculture oversees plant quarantine, food safety, aquaculture licensing, and programs that support local farmers. Land use decisions by state and county commissions determine how much agricultural land remains in production versus development. Food security advocates, farmers, and conservationists all have standing to testify at public hearings that shape Hawaii's capacity to feed itself.
