What If the Boats Stop Coming to Hawai'i? What will you do? When Captain Cook landed in Hawai'i in 1778 the Hawaiian population has been estimated to be as high as eight hundred thousand people. Today we have 1.2 million people in Hawai'i nei; that is pretty close to the estimated population in 1778.
In 1778 agriculture and aquaculture in Hawai'i were self sufficient and indefinitely sustainable. Today we have three days supply of food in the markets and three days supply in the warehouses. If the boats stop coming here what will we do? Food and Medicine is Growing in Your Yard
But you must know what to look for. Be prepared! Learn the foods and medicines that are growing at your feet. I will come to your home to show you exactly what is growing on your property and how you might use it. You bring a notebook and possibly a camera. I give you a thorough list of the plants on your property and online medical plant information on my website that you can use as an ongoing reference. If you don't have a garden put one in now
Foraging for food and medicine is useful, but better yet you can help yourself, your community, and this 'Aina even more by putting in a garden. |
