Who are Molokai’s Future Farmers?

November 19, 2025 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm

A grove of papaya trees

The community is invited to listen, learn from and share their views with local, Hawaii and international speakers about a variety of topics through the Global Citizenship Speaker Series.

This presentation features Molokai youth sharing their manaʻo about the future of farming on Molokai. All around the world, the average age of farmers is going up and up and few young people are taking up farming. But today, youth on Molokai, including the Molokai Homestead Youth Council, Hui Meaʻai Culinary Club, Molokai High School Future Farmers of America, the 4H Club, and Molokai High School Youth Entrepreneurs are exploring ways to get involved in Molokai’s food system. Will they be our future farmers?

This presentation will feature a panel of youth interested and engaged in growing food, cooking, and creating food-related businesses.

The speaker series is presented by the Molokai Bahá’í Community in collaboration with Molokaʻi Public Library to encourage conversations around global issues of importance to Molokai.
Everyone is welcome. Light refreshments will be served.

Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible. Advance requests 48 hours or more before the event are encouraged, but not required. All programs are subject to change. See a schedule of upcoming events on the HSPLS Events Calendar.
