To fix one gaping wound to sustainable family farming is to kick out Monsanto from Hawaii. They misinformed/paid off officials and have a foot hold in their university and they are tenacious. Their GMO's got loose and are ruining the local papaya crop. go to hawaiiseed. & greenpeace's truefood. to get more up to date info.
