The Silent Invasion!
Hawai‘i’s $673M agriculture industry is under siege. Invasive species like the Coffee Berry Borer and Little Fire Ant threaten food security, ecosystems, and the economy — potentially costing $194M annually. Managing just five species over five years could exceed $82.9M, underscoring the urgent need for stronger biosecurity measures.
Don’t miss keynote speaker Mike Inglis, a global leader in biosecurity from New Zealand’s Ministry for Primary Industries, sharing strategies to combat invasive threats. Plus, hear from an expert panel of policymakers, scientists, and local farmers.
