Chancellor Bonnie Irwin and several faculty and staff from University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo and Hawaiʻi Community College attended a luncheon focused on agriculture September 25 hosted by the Hawaiʻi Island Chamber of Commerce.
The event, “Seeding Tomorrow: Growing Hawaiʻi’s Future in Agriculture,” featured a panel discussion highlighting the opportunities, challenges, and innovations shaping Hawai‘i’s agricultural future. The event was attended by ag leaders and experts who shared their insights on a sustainable agricultural industry into the future.
“The Hawaiʻi Island Chamber luncheon was a great opportunity for UH Hilo ag faculty and staff to chat with Hawaiʻi Community College colleagues about issues of mutual concern,” says Chancellor Irwin. “The event allowed us to think about UH Hilo’s role in supporting the agriculture sector of our economy.”
