Hawaii Food Systems Leadership Series
The Hawaii Food Systems Leadership Series (HFSLS) is an initiative that convenes leaders across Hawaii’s food system to share perspectives, experiences, and insights that inform action towards improving food security, resilience, access, health, and economic development throughout the state.
What We Do
Collaboration
We collaborate with local food-systems experts to derive insights about Hawaii’s food sector and provide businesses, NGO’s, and institutions with deep-dives into the most pressing issues surrounding Hawaii’s food system.
Research
Each article and partner is specifically designed and curated to address an issue surrounding Hawaii’s food system. Our research is based on a mix of proprietary data and research and publicly available information.
Insights
Insights are developed through a structured process of analyzing data and information, identifying patterns, and connecting them to the broader context in which things occur in Hawaii’s food system.
The Future of Food Systems Leadership in Hawaii
Hawaii imports 85–90% of its food and keeps only days of supply on hand. Explore the five competencies Hawaii’s next food systems leaders need (systems thinking, cross-sector convening, adaptive leadership, data literacy, and managing uncertainty) and how to build a leadership pipeline for a more resilient island food economy.
