The Sustainable Living Institute of Maui has launched the WaiPono Farm at University of Hawaii Maui College to develop, model and promote innovative, sustainable food systems methods and practices in controlled environment greenhouses in urban and rural settings using aquaponics and hydroponics growing technologies, capacity building frameworks, and education programs to support food security, economic development through food innovation and regenerative agriculture, and engagement with the United Nations’s sustainable development goals in Hawaii and the Pacific region.

In partnership with Hui No Ke Ola Pono, WaiPono Farm is hosting the Greenhouse Technician and Food Innovation training program in Spring-Summer 2019. Applications are required.
