RE: S.R. No. 130
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Coirmittees on Agriculture and Environment and Government
Operations, to which was referred S.R. No. 130 entitled:
"SENATE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU
TO COLLABORATE WITH THE STATE TO EXPAND COMMUNITY GARDENING
OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESIDENTS,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the City
and County of Honolulu to collaborate with the State to expand
community gardening opportunities for residents.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Department of Land and Natural Resources and Hawai‘i Farm
Bureau.
Your Committees find that, in addition to other health and
social benefits, community gardens can produce organic, healthy,
and affordable food options, thereby contributing to the State's
local food production goals. Your Committees note that there is
high demand for community garden spaces among residents of the
State. This measure therefore aims to provide solutions to the
lack of available supply of community garden spaces on the island
of Oahu.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your
Committees on Agriculture and Environment and Government
Operations that are attached to this report, your Committees
