What is the impact of human actions (both positive and negative) on your issue?

     Human actions play both a negative and positive role on sustainable food growth.

     In Hawai’i, majority of the food is imported. As Hawai’i is the most isolated place on Earth, dependency on the continental United States in high. Although this may be seen as a negative, there are numerous ways in which it can be turned around.

     Ideally, the government and local farmers can collaborate to create a larger margin of food produced in Hawai’i.
