Agricultural extension is a vital service that connects farmers and agricultural professionals with the latest research, technologies, and best practices. Our goal is to enhance productivity, sustainability, and resilience in farming by offering tailored support and resources. Through workshops, field demonstrations, one-on-one consultations, and educational materials, we empower farmers to make informed decisions and improve their practices.

“I ka mālama ʻana, ke ola.”
This translates to:
“In caring for, there is life.”
This proverb underscores the importance of nurturing and taking care of the land (or any task) to ensure growth and vitality.
