Hawaii\u2019s goal of advancing agriculture and food sustainability cannot happen in a vacuum. Deliberate action must be taken to identify and remove roadblocks to profitable local food production.
Hawai'i already has a thriving cattle ranches, but invasive species such as Maui\u2019s Axis deer pose a unique opportunity as an additional source of meat products.

On today\u2019s episode of 'Hawaii Together,' host Keli'i Akina speaks with Mayer about the state of Hawaii\u2019s meat industry, how Hawaii\u2019s Axis deer and other invasive animals fit into the situation, and some of the other challenges the industry will need to address.
