For over 1000 years the Hawaiian People produced enough food to support an estimated population of one million. Today, 85% of their food is imported. And if current trends continue, Hawaii’s last agricultural lands will be gone by 2040. Can Hawaii change course in time? Yes. This 87 minute film will expose the world to the individual Heroes that are working to solve the biggest issue facing this beloved remote island paradise: “How Can Hawaii Feed Itself?” These “seeds of hope,” innovative farmers — both large and small, educators and everyday citizens are scattered throughout the island chain and are growing new ideas that can solve Hawaii’s food crisis and inspire a world to become more sustainable and to nurture the land that feeds us. The World Premiere of the film is set for Saturday, Oct. 13th at the 2012 Hawaii International Film Festival. For tickets go to: www.hiff.org
