University of Hawaii

Program Description
Small farms are an integral part of diversified agriculture in Hawaii, an industry that has grown three-fold over the past 25 years. In addition, over the past two years, the industry has experienced a 35% increase in the number of vegetable farms as well as increased production of papaya, coffee, macadamia nut, and other crops.

The College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources' (CTAHR) landscape, turf and home garden programs also enhance urban living and attract tourists, while its research and extension programs also support wildlife and natural resource conservation in the State.
