Ka Lepo Pōpolo

Aloha Fellow Sustainable Advocates and Farmers alike! My name is Ikaika Gante, I am a High School History Teacher from Honolulu, Oʻahu. I have been growing food since I was a boy and have had many opportunities volunteering in loʻi and gardens across Hawaii. My family had a māla (garden) at our home in Honolulu, but our real art was fishing. We lived a half sustainable lifestyle I suppose supplementing a lot of what we ate by gathering from the ocean and our garden. My lineal connection to Hāloa (kalo) as a Hawaiian has always inspired me to test my own ability to constantly observe my plants and their environments and get a better understanding of living sustainably.
