Re: Resolution 269-09
Mr. Yoshimoto and Hawaii County Council Members:
I would like to voice my strong support for Resolution 269-09. Setting up a Food Policy Council is a step in the
right direction for an island where, it is recognized, the backbone of the
economy is agriculture. So many us (including myself) are involved in agriculture in a small way, but in a way that
is important to us, for income, for health and for personal satisfaction.
For others, agriculture is the major part of their life and their finances. We recognize too, the importance of
agriculture to the land itself. And finally, we face the need to become more
sustainable.
Sustainability is not just a smoke dream. It is a real answer to many problems facing us. This resolution allows
us to work toward the goal in an organized, rational way. I would be
encouraged, as would many of my neighbors in South Kona, to know that the council understands our values and
our hopes and is ready to help us.
Thank you for your consideration,
Susan Dursin
