projects. Further possibilities to explore include a partnership with the NK Community Resource Center in support of community housing. Agriculture: Meeting on August 8, 8:00 a.m. at Hoea Ag Park Office, with guest: Bob Agres of HACBED (Hawaii Alliance for Community Based Economic Development). General discussion on how to develop strategic plan to get to 50% local food by 2018. Questions raised - What do people in Kohala eat? How do we define 50%? Goals - Assess where we are. Have info and need to gather more info. Develop strategies for moving towards the 50%. What are people growing vs. what people are eating? Step #1: Design a framework founded on good information. Pull info together, then figure out what needs to be filled in. Vision: What does 50% by 2018 look like? If the community is clear about what the vision looks like - What would tell us that we are actually moving towards the goal? Then ongoing process of how we are getting there becomes clear. Strategies adjust over time. Indicators of Success - community is building capacity. Engaging people in the planning process. Schools - engage parents through kids. Farmers/Hunters - how do you tap them? Are there multiple entry points/Key entry points? Home based, faith based, look to entry points. Whats already going on so we can use these entry points? Ohana dialogue / Talk story, Research, more talk story.
