Survey
In order for us to understand the barriers being experienced by the Native Hawaiian and Pacific Island populations with regards to equitable access to Farm Bill programs, we are conducting a survey for the above specified population during the months of June and July 2022.
One ʻaʻaliʻi seedling will be gifted to those who fill out a survey. Your completed survey will help us to gather data to allow us to overcome the barriers being experienced and provide help for NH/PI to access these programs.
