PC: University of Hawai‘i Maui College.

University of Hawaiʻi Maui College’s Sustainability Program Coordinator
Nicolette van der Lee has received $300,000 in funding from the USDA National
Institute of Food and Agriculture for a new project entitled Puʻuhonua
Kauluwehi: Maui Wildfire Rapid Response Strategies for Agroecosystems
Resilience, Food Security and Community Wellbeing.

The Puʻuhonua Kauluwehi project will collaboratively establish a network of
biocultural refuges supporting the cultivation of native plants to accelerate
landscape-scale ecological restoration, food security, and community wellbeing
strategies.

It will host immersive, work-based learning experiences in the natural resources
sector for local participants including youth and adults from disadvantaged and
displaced communities.

University of Hawaiʻi Maui College Chancellor, Lui Hokoana thanked van der Lee
for contributing to this important research and announced the project in his
weekly communique, highlighting the UHMC spring 2024 semester.

Goals include the following:

 * Increase community stakeholders’ access to environmental, human health, and
   socioeconomic benefits in disadvantaged communities.
 * Broaden youth and adult engagement and education in agroecosystem planning
   and restoration.
 * Increase local capacity for agroforestry restoration across Hawai‘i’s
   landscapes.
 * Enhance awareness of the best practices of biocultural refuges to improve
   resilience to climate change and extreme events like the on-going threat of
   wildfires.

This grant was awarded under the US Department of Agriculture’s Grants for Rapid
Response to Extreme Weather Events Across Food and Agricultural Systems program.
