Hawaii Good Food AllianceHawaii imports about 90% of its food, and communities want to change that. The Good Food Alliance is working across all the islands to improve access to local, good food that can promote healthy eating.

Shift Health Accelerator is helping the Alliance articulate shared outcomes across a network of 10+ organizations. We’ll have more on this work as it progresses so stay tuned.
