Hawaii County Agriculture Development Plan
- Location
- Hawaii County, Hawaii
- Organization(s)
- The Kohala Center, Hawaii State Department of Agriculture, Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research, Hawaii
The Kohala Center will work in partnership with the Hawaii Department of Agriculture and Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research, Hawaii to develop an HIA that guides the creation of the Agriculture Development Plan for the County of Hawaii. It will look at the health effects of proposals that range from increasing the production of fruits and vegetables to setting aside more land for growing biofuel or agricultural crops for exportation. The HIA findings, anticipated in December 2011, will help the Hawaii County Council craft a plan that maximizes health while balancing a complex set of contending priorities.
