Hawaiʻi Center for Food Safety Action Fund is a non-partisan, not-for-profit, non-candidate committee engaging in education and electoral activities, including legislative advocacy, voter education, and grassroots organizing.

Hawaiʻi Center for Food Safety Action Fund is committed to protecting human health and the environment in Hawaiʻi from potentially harmful industrial farming practices and by promoting organic and other forms of sustainable agriculture. To do this, we need elected officials who will stand up to biotech and agrichemical companies and support local and sustainable farming practices in Hawaiʻi. Hawaiʻi Center for Food Safety Action Fund educates voters on Hawaiʻi candidates and where they stand on food safety issues.
