Overview
The Hawai‘i Island Agriculture Partnership, or HIAP, was created to be a platform for collective action for local agricultural development. Many farms, government agencies and non-profits are working hard for Hawai‘i Island agriculture. HIAP strives to connect their efforts and help them to work together in ways that build collective impact.
HIAP is structured to support collaborative efforts throughout the agriculture and food system, creating new spaces and tools for diverse groups of people to collaborate around specific issues, actions or opportunities.
