Oʻahu Food Systems Action Plan
Just Released!
The City and County of Honolulu’s first-ever Food Systems Action Plan is now available! Developed by the Mayor’s Office of Climate Change, Sustainability and Resiliency, the plan is a strategic, implementation-focused action plan that defines the City’s role in Oʻahu’s food system over the next five years.
The plan will soon be presented to the Honolulu City Council for adoption as a guiding document for the City and County of Honolulu. Stay tuned for more updates and opportunities to engage.
Mahalo to everyone who took time this summer to review the draft plan and share their manaʻo!
Supplemental Projects
ʻIke ʻAi Art Gallery
The Resilience Office hosted the ʻIke ʻAi Art Contest to inspire and enhance the creation of the Oʻahu Food Systems Action Plan. The art gallery features a selection of artwork inspired by an ʻōlelo noʻeau related to Oʻahu’s food system, and reflects diverse and thought provoking interpretations of Hawaiʻi’s rich and cultural food landscape.
University of Hawai’i at Mānoa’s Urban and Regional Planning Report
Students in the Master of Urban and Regional Planning (MURP) program at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa developed a report for the Resilience Office as part of the Fall 2025 PLAN 616: Community Planning course. The report analyzes current data on Oʻahu’s food economy, highlights traditional and cultural food assets through photo documentation, and explores the connections between food systems and public health outcomes across the island. Together, these insights hope to support the development of the Oʻahu Food Systems Plan.
