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.
Complimentary Island Fresh Eggs! All attendees will receive a voucher for one dozen island fresh eggs compliments of Hawaiian Maid and Kalei Eggs.
Tickets are limited—get yours today! A limited number of specially priced tickets are available to members in the agricultural industry, generously supported by Ulupono Initiative. Email info@hawaiiagfoundation.org for the promo code.
