Thirty Percent Podcast
The Thirty Percent Podcast is a series highlighting the emerging work in Hawaiʻi to reach the Aloha Plus Challenge goal of doubling local food production by 2030 – which means getting to thirty percent locally grown food.
In each episode we will examine philosophies and approaches of those currently addressing various aspects of food system transformation in Hawaiʻi, with an eye on what might be most likely to create sufficient momentum toward a large scale change in the food system.
