It was definitely worth while. Our short two weeks together felt like months! This trip gave me a new perspective of sustainable communities and helped me to better understand all that's being done to make a more inclusive, sustainable, and connected world.

***CURRENTLY CLOSED****
As an island state that imports 90% of it's food and exports 80% of it's agricultural production, Hawai'i has been focusing efforts on farming infrastructure and technology as it strengthens it's food and energy security. Join our next student cohort as we take a deep dive into Hawai'i's ancestral roots, explore Hawaiian history and sovereignty, and the effects on the island's land and indigenous people. Discover a popular travel destination through a new lens and learn more about an island that was once food secure and now working towards that ideal state once again.
