Hoʻokuaʻāina, a nonprofit organization in Kailua, Oahu, is expanding their 3-acre kalo farm. Our project team assisted in the development of a custom agriculture system for a new 116-acre plot of land, with a focus on fostering community and preserving culture. Through interviews and focused research, we evaluated and synthesized the sponsor’s ideas for the system, as well as gained insight into agricultural practices that have been successful around the world. Using our findings, we provided a formal write-up of system operations along with recommendations that could be applied, calculated estimated crop yields, and created an original ArcGIS StoryMap describing the intentions behind Hoʻokuaʻāina’s expansion.
