Food or Famine?
Pick Your Side of the Argument
Critics say that the world’s food crisis is already out of control and predict that thousands more will starve as the situation grows worse. The optimists say, not to worry, the scientists will soon find a solution. Meanwhile, the practical ones are planting a garden, and the really smart ones are learning the right way to grow food.
These “really smart ones,” know that simply planting a garden, without doing it right, may be good exercise but is not always a successful solution to growing food. They have learned the effective methods of gardening and farming offered in courses focused on sustainable organic systems. A new 15-week comprehensive training program in the principles and practices of organic food production starts September 9, at Kauai Community College. It will be taught on Thursdays from 1 to 6 pm. It combines classroom instruction with hands-on practical experience in gardens on campus and in farms around the island.
The title of the course says it all: “Sustainable Gardening and Farming.” Instruction is provided by experienced farmers and specialists in the fields of food and agriculture. The state-of-the art methods used in this program are drawn from professional training programs and research findings provided by the University of Hawaii’s College of Tropical Agriculture, the University of California at Santa Cruz and several of the leading sustainable agriculture research centers worldwide. These methods were used and proven successful in a pilot training programs conducted at Kauai Community College in 2009 and 2010.
Graduates of these programs are starting home gardens and developing community gardens and farms as part of an expanding Kauai network contributing to food self-sufficiency. After completing the program, graduates qualify to receive advanced training and on-going technical support to insure their continued success.
The major goal of this program is to create sufficient gardeners and farmers to achieve a sustainable level of food self-sufficiency for the island. Because of Kauai’s favorable climate and extended growing seasons, this goal is certainly attainable. As more locally grown food is produced and the island’s current 90% dependence on imported food is reduced, the economy will prosper as food dollars remain on island and new jobs are created for the emerging locally based food industry. The Sustainable Gardening and Farming program is a major step in the direction of food solutions that are essential for Kauai’s future. To enroll, call the College at 245-8318. The registration fee is $350 and can be paid via credit card. Payment plans are also available. Don’t delay, as enrollment is limited to 35 applicants. For more information, contact Paul Massey at 652-4118 or <paul.massey@ribg.org> or Glenn Hontz at 246-4859 or <hontz@hawaii.
