  4. Ground Rules • Respect Others • Listen to understand • Be clear and concise • Avoid side conversations while someone else has the floor • Maintain an open and positive attitude • Everyone needs to participate (stakeholder input) • Put cell phones and pagers on the “Joy” setting

  5. Current projects that will be touching aquaponic stakeholders “Producing more of Hawai’s food and fuel here in the islands is a vital step in creating a sustainable future”. http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/downloads/2010_POW.pdf Collaborative Effort for Utilizing Biofuel Byproducts. Agreement No. 58-5320-8-392 (Amendment 01) with USDA-ARS. Andrew Hashimoto, Dean CTAHR

  6. Current projects that will be touching aquaponics Diverisfying Freshwater Aquaculture Products for Hawaii: Two Crossover Species,The Red And Black Pacu (Piaractus brachypomus and Colosomma macropomum) PI = Robert Howerton, Sea Grant Co-PI = Clyde Tamaru, CTAHR

  7. Current projects that will be touching aquaponics Sustainable Aquaculture for Food Security in Hawaii: Survey and Improvement of Farm Production and Post Harvest Practices for Biosecurity and Food Safety PI = Todd Low, ADP Co-PI = Clyde Tamaru, CTAHR

  8. It is All About Expectations Harry Ako and Adam Baker’s hydroponic production of lettuce My first attempt at hydroponic production of lettuce.

  9. Land Grant College System • Universities or colleges that receives the benefits of the Morill Acts of 1862 and 1890 (Education) • Hatch Act of 1887 allowed land grant colleges to create agricultural research stations to conduct practical research that would assist farmers (Research) • Smith-Lever Act of 1914 results in the cooperative extension services and a mechanism for technology transfer (Extension) Justin Morrill Abraham Lincoln

  10. History of the Land Grant College Program in Hawaii • The University of Hawaii, founded in 1907, was initially the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts with 5 students in 1908. • The Land Grant College is now the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources, one of six colleges located on the UH Manoa campus. “Centennial” – white anthurium bred by UH scientists to celebrate 100th birthday

  11. Classic Example of How a Land Grant College Program Works Tropic Sunrise Society of American Florists/2007 Outstanding Varieties Competition. Drs. Haruyuki Kamemoto and Heidi Kuehnle with “Tropic Fire”. Since 1950 developing disease resistant and novel anthuriums for the flower industry. which helped anthuriums become the state’s most valuable cut-flower crop (farm-gate value of $4.7 million in 2005) Lavendar Lady Society of American Florists/2004 Outstanding Varieties Competition Harold and Eric Tanouye Green Point Nurseries, Inc.

  12. Frank Baensch is currently enrolled as a doctoral candidate at the University of Nagasaki’s Ronpaku Program. This is made possible through an MOU between the Dept. of MBBE/CTAHR and Nagasaki University

  13. Field test for growing out feather duster worms at Heeia fishpond

  14. Technology Transfer: Manuals

  15. Water Quality WorkshopAquaculture Development ProgramDr. Allen Riggs and RuthEllen Klinger-Bowen

  16. Live Feeds WorkshopHawaii Institute of Marine Biology 2008

  17. Current status of our state economy
