Nā Kupu Mana‘Olana (Seeds of Hope) is a documentary that tells the story of Hawai‘i’s return to local and traditional methods of growing food within the context of the state’s growing food insecurity.

If current trends continue, Hawai‘i’s last agricultural lands will be gone by 2040.” Seeds of Hope offers an in-depth look at the history and future of Hawai‘i’s agriculture. The film includes interviews with more than 50 farmers, ranchers, scientists and educators who provide a wealth of information about Hawai‘i’s agricultural history and an inspiring vision for our future. The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with filmmaker Danny Miller, Kevin Chang of HRDC, Gerry Ross, farmer-owner of Kupa‘a Farms, and Sumner Erdman, president of ‘Ulupalakua Ranch.
