Taking Hawaii foods from seeds in the field to store shelves is the aim of “Eat Think Drink: Show Me The Green,” as the Hawai‘i Agricultural Foundation hosts experts who will share their knowledge and inspiration.
The Aug. 28 event will feature Lou Cooperhouse, known as a global leader in food innovation, incubation, acceleration and more, as keynote speaker.
A panel of local industry experts will then lead a discussion on how best to take a product created with locally grown ingredients and turn it into a popular made-in-Hawaii purchase.
Panelists will include Kyle Datta of Ulupono Initiative, Greg Leong of Arocrest Co. and Nancy Enos of Foodland Super Market.
