#EATTHINKDRINK was developed by HAF in response to the need to provide better information to the community on important food issues. The quarterly series aims to build and engage a larger network of younger generation consumers and create new opportunities to learn about the food we eat and the people that grow it. The goal of ETD is to find and develop areas of common ground, such as increasing awareness and support for local farmers and developing better infrastructure and consumer demand for value-added products to empower Hawaiʻi’s next generation of community and industry leaders.
